No, You Don’t Need to Specialize: How to Reframe what it Means to be a Public Interest Lawyer and How to Build the Skills to Make Meaningful Change
12:30 pm - 1:15 pm
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. -
