Come to learn more about the experience of navigating law school and the legal field as a public interest student of color. How does the path differ in comparison to a career in private practice?

Come hear from a panel of attorneys who have already been in your shoes! Panelists will include attorneys from: the Public Defender Services of the District of Columbia, the North Carolina Office of the Attorney General, the ACLU of North Carolina, the Center for Death Penalty Litigation, the Duke Law Civil Justice Clinic, and the Durham City Attorney.
