Feeling like you want to do a little bit of everything in public interest law but aren’t sure what that looks like? Join Wasserstein Fellow Liv Warren ’17, a (mostly) criminal defense attorney at a boutique trial firm in Durham, NC, for a conversation about building a career that truly lets you have it all. Liv will share what it’s like to juggle criminal, civil, trial, appellate, and post-conviction cases in state and federal court, take on high-stakes matters including death penalty and civil rights cases, and push for change through legislative advocacy—all without burning out. She’ll also talk about transitioning from non-profit to small-firm practice, using media and advocacy skills effectively, and finding ways to thrive personally while maintaining a law practice consistent with your values. This is a chance to get honest and practical advice about leaving the beaten paths in public interest and diving into local communities to build an expansive and exciting career.

Lunch provided. Please RSVP below! Open to the HLS community.
