WCC; 3019 Classroom

Please join the HLS Animal Law Society for a conversation with Caitlin Hawkes (Chief Program Officer, ALDF), Melissa Alpert (HLS ’17, Staff Attorney Humane World for Animals) and Stijn van Osch (Staff Attorney, Humane World for Animals,). All three made the leap from Big Law to public service, and they’ll share what that transition was really like—the challenges, the opportunities, and their best advice for anyone considering a purpose-driven legal career—now or after some time in Big Law. Lunch will be provided from Veggie Grill. Please register here so we can get an estimate on number of lunches.
