OPIA

1Ls will not want to miss this annual event designed to introduce you to the myriad public interest employment opportunities available to 1Ls both here and abroad. 2Ls and 3Ls will be available to answer questions about their previous summer employers and internship experiences. Food will be served.

Join Wasserstein Fellow Angelica Salceda as she shares insights on building a public interest career in regions with great needs but limited legal resources. Angelica will discuss how to grow professionally even when you’re one of the few attorneys in the region, strategies to balance local demands while continuing to develop legal expertise, and how to leverage available resources to bridge the gap. She’ll also cover ways to navigate unique joys and challenges of place-based practice. Lunch provided. Please RSVP below! Open to the HLS community.

Join Wasserstein Fellow Sapna Khatri to learn how to view reproductive justice through a wide-angle lens, recognizing that issues such as economic justice, racial equity, and environmental justice are all interconnected in the pursuit of reproductive justice. Using her own career as an example, Sapna hopes to provide students with insight navigating legal pathways and developing skills that can enhance one’s ability to advocate effectively for reproductive justice, regardless of where they practice. This session will both provide an overview of integrating reproductive justice into various aspects of legal practice, while also offering practical advice to aspiring advocates on identifying and pursuing opportunities that make a meaningful impact in the field. Lunch provided. RSVP below. Open to the HLS community.

Law school is full of conventional wisdom—including that as a 1L you need to pick an area of the law in which to specialize and that appellate litigation is the pinnacle of the profession. Join OPIA for a conversation with Wasserstein Fellow Bradley Girard, Senior Counsel at Democracy Forward, on why you should ignore that conventional wisdom. Bradley is a public-interest appellate generalist who has litigated cases involving the First Amendment, Title VII, habeas corpus, police violence, bankruptcy, and much more. As a first-generation law student, Bradley didn't know what to focus on—he didn't even know what lawyers actually did. Bradley will share how he figured out that impact and appellate work was his path, and will offer you advice on getting there if that's what you want. But he will also talk about how conventional wisdom obscures that different approaches to the law and career paths are just as important. Lunch provided. Please RSVP below! Open to the HLS community.
