Curious about what paths different attorneys take before working in policy?
Need help figuring out where to apply for a summer internship?
Come learn from four outstanding attorneys from the Brennan Center for Justice’s Democracy Program as they give insights into what it means to work in policy, as well as impact litigation. Each panelist has a unique and interesting background and will speak to the diverse pathways lawyers take before beginning jobs in policy. They will discuss their own journeys as well as the exciting work they do at the Brennan Center and how this work intersects with issues of race.

Come learn from individuals who work directly on these issues and learn how you can engage in similar reform efforts.
The panelists will also provide information on applying to the Brennan Center for a summer internship. Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn about careers in policy and get help on your summer job search.
