Welcome to the class of 2018!
In October, the Public Interest Law Center will hold an information session for 1Ls about launching a public interest career and finding public interest summer internships. However, some of you may be eager to learn more about public interest law in the meantime. For that reason, incoming 1Ls are invited to an event on Monday, August 31 that is otherwise focused on 2Ls and 3Ls.
Alumni panels
From 4:30pm to 5:30pm on August 31, there will be concurrent NYU alumni panels covering four major subject areas:
- International law: held in Vanderbilt Hall, Room 206
- Government: held in Vanderbilt Hall, Room 210
- Civil legal services: held in Vanderbilt Hall, Room 214
- Criminal law (prosecution and defense): held in Vanderbilt Hall, Room 220
The panels are strongly geared toward practical career advice for 2L and 3L students. However, 1Ls who are particularly interested in one of these areas are welcome to come and observe.
Reception
After the alumni panels, from 5:30pm to 7:00pm, there will be a reception in Greenberg Lounge with public interest alumni, faculty, student groups, and PILC counselors. Again, although the reception is focused on 2Ls and 3Ls, it is an opportunity for public interest minded 1Ls to mingle with like-minded upper-year students and the broader NYU public interest community.
RSVP
1Ls should feel no pressure to attend this event, even those interested in pursuing a career in public service. There will be plenty of public interest programming and information for 1Ls later in the Fall and Spring.
If you would like to attend, please RSVP to Gabby Royal (gabrielle.royal@nyu.edu) and specify which portion(s) of the event you will come to (panel topic and/or reception) by Thursday, August 27.
