Manhattan Place, Los Angeles (Pico & Western). According to the organizer, "This will be a time of testimony and fellowship centered upon BYU's law school encouraging black candidates to apply. It will be a worthwhile evening even for those not interested in law school because of the networking and friendships formed there (I met my wife at one of these in 2007).
