What to Wear ... Weather Information

The 2011 National Law-Related Education Conference will have a business casual dress code trend. As for the weather outside in March, prepare for unpredictability. March in Chicago may bring rain, snow, or sun, so pack a jacket, layers, and an umbrella. Just to be sure, we advise checking the weather before you lug your puffy coat to Chicago, only to discover that it will be 50 degrees and sunny all weekend.
