HLS Beyond presents: Advanced Financial Planning for Different Legal Careers – Investing
It’s time to think about the specific investing strategies that suit your future financial profile – whether that’s BigLaw, work at a small or mid-sized firm, solo practice, or a public interest position. Investment analysis and risk assessment are important frameworks to familiarize yourself with as you begin setting up your retirement plan, consider purchasing life insurance, select an appropriate health insurance plan, shop around for liability insurance, and even begin estate planning.
Pathways to a U.S. Attorney’s Office
The work of Assistant US Attorneys ranges from criminal prosecution to appellate litigation to civil enforcement and defense work, all representing the United States in federal court. Many students find this role very appealing, but most lawyers need experience to get hired by a US Attorney’s Office. If you are excited about the prospect of working at a USAO, come hear alumni panelists speak about various pathways to that goal.
Lunch provided. Please RSVP.
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 with 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!
The New Legal Order: Social & Legal Ramifications of the Quantum Future
Emerging novel quantum resources, such as quantum computers and simulators, have an enormous potential to provide benefits beyond the capabilities of today’s technology in terms of social impact and commercial applications. In the legal arena “quantum-boosted” artificial intelligence could substantially improve the quality and efficiency of discovery acceleration, research, and innovation processes, while lowering transaction costs. At the same time, the emergence of quantum technologies will fundamentally affect societal and legal development, underlying power dynamics, and international relations. The duty to anticipate the social and legal ramifications of a widespread adoption of such technologies will fall to governmental authorities, policy makers, and lawyers.
