OPIA’s Fellowship Series: Skadden Fellowship Information Session
Learn about this exciting 2-year post-graduate/post-clerkship fellowship to a non-profit organization from the Executive Director of the Skadden Foundation, Kathleen Rubenstein. Kathleen will discuss eligible projects and the application process. Previous HLS Skadden Fellowship recipients will also discuss their experiences with the process. Attendance at the info session is required if you plan to apply for the Skadden Fellowship. If students cannot attend the mandatory session because of time conflicts, they must make an appointment with Judy Murciano to discuss the application.
Justice Jam
A fun and casual event for the HLS public interest community and hopefully the start of a new annual tradition. Grab some appetizers while listening to passionate public interest attorneys and soon-to-be attorneys tell a story about why they fight for justice. Each storyteller will share—in just five minutes! —what inspires them to do public interest work. It will be part poetry slam about justice, part public interest pep talk, and, if YOU come, a whole lot of fun. Join us!
Food and beverage provided. RSVP below!
