The Social Justice Program's CLS in DC Summer Breakfast Club 2009 brought Columbia Law School current students, admitted students and graduates together to start building a Columbia network of people who have worked or want to work in or with the federal government in D.C. at some time in their careers.
Each of the four breakfasts showcased a particular segment of the D.C. community – the Executive Branch, the Hill, NGOs and law firms involved with governmental issues. Distinguished Law School graduates spoke about their work and there was ample time to network.
