Through the lens of her 30+ year career working for public interest organizations and litigating complex consumer, environmental, and public health cases, Tory will talk about the skills, knowledge, and experiences that she accumulated and carried from one project to the next. In this lunchtime chat, you will hear about the different types of practice – policy, legislating, and litigation -- as well as the wide-range of subject matter that falls within the definition of public interest work. And perhaps most importantly, you will talk about ways to think about work and define meaning and satisfaction – personally and professionally -- as you start to envision daily work, a job, and a career arc.
