Public Interest Week: Public Interest Careers Panel

Event Description

Are you interested in a public interest career but don’t know where to start? Do you have questions or concerns about finding a job outside of the big, well-known recruitment processes like OCI’s? What do public interest lawyers actually do? Join us for a panel with three excellent lawyers that will demonstrate the variety of ways that lawyers can get into public interest work!
