Public Interest Lecture Series
The Public Interest Lecture Series provides students with a unique opportunity to interact in a small-group setting with dynamic and accomplished alumni and faculty who have either dedicated themselves to public interest law or have made a commitment to pro bono work in their private practice and teaching careers. These informal roundtable luncheons are designed to allow students to share their aspirations, ask questions and learn about the myriad opportunities in public service and public interest law.
