Wondering if you can have a rewarding public interest career as an appellate lawyer? Think you might enjoy appellate practice, but are not actually sure what it entails? Join OPIA for a community discussion with Wasserstein Fellow Christine Monta, who has spent her career litigating civil rights and criminal justice issues in appellate courts from three different perspectives–as a D.C. public defender, a DOJ civil rights attorney, and a strategic impact litigator with the MacArthur Justice Center.
