Illinois Tech unveiled its renamed downtown campus building, Conviser Law Center, at a formal dedication ceremony in recognition of Richard J. Conviser’s lifelong service to Chicago-Kent College of Law and the legal community. Conviser is also a longtime professor of law at Chicago-Kent and a co-founder of BARBRI, the world’s largest bar-exam preparation course.
“Chicago-Kent is a leader in innovation,” Conviser said when the building’s renaming was originally announced in February 2020; the dedication ceremony was later delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “The school’s forward-thinking approach to providing a quality legal education that prepares students to practice law in this rapidly changing legal industry is truly outstanding among its peers.”
