  • Please be aware of downtown construction and allow plenty of time to arrive and find parking at area ramps or meters in time for student line-up (12:15 p.m.).
  • The Minneapolis Convention Center is only a couple of blocks away from the law school, so many will choose to walk between the two venues.
