Restrictions on reproductive health care have significant consequences for immigrants. In the wake of the rights-stripping Dobbs decision, immigrants without documentation are not able to travel in many parts of the country to access abortion due to immigration checkpoints. Although minors and adults in government custody have the right to obtain abortion access pursuant to federal policy, new challenges have emerged to ensure that policy is enforced. Furthermore, people in immigration custody have faced reproductive coercion, including forced sterilization, and shackling while pregnant, despite policy prohibiting such treatment. Come learn from Brigitte Amiri, the Deputy Director of the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project, and Maura Finn, Senior Lead Attorney with the Southern Poverty Law Center's Southeast Immigrant Freedom Initiative, about what can be done to ensure reproductive rights for immigrants. The discussion will be moderated by Professor Kate Evans. Lunch will be provided. Sponsored by DIRP. For more information, please contact Ken Krmoyan at ken.krmoyan@duke.edu.

The decision to pursue law firm/private sector employment for 2L summer and beyond is significant for GPI-focused 1Ls. Due to the scale of the OCI event, its focus on primarily "big law" employers, and increasingly earlier private sector recruiting, deciding whether to participate in and pursue private sector opportunities can be a decision flashpoint leading to concerns about closing doors. This session will help 1Ls determine how OCI may or may not fit into their career goals, as well as how to weigh competing values. PIPB career counselors will review the general job search timeline for private sector and GPI 2L jobs, and a panel of upper-level students will candidly share how they decided what was right for them. 1Ls who already know they will not pursue the private sector may still benefit from attending to hear from and connect with peers.
