HSLS is happy to welcome back a selection of top Milbank attorneys to speak about working in Space Law from 12:30-1:15pm! Join us for lunch and learn about the Transportation and Space group. As always, lunch will be provided.

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.

This workshop investigates the turn to the local across international legal fields, from criminal law and development to investment arbitration, climate governance, and cultural heritage protection. It asks how the “local” is defined and mobilized, what underlies the growing appeal of localism, and what tensions accompany these shifts.
