On April 11, 2024, the Office of Public Interest/Public Service Law and Careers celebrated members of the Class of 2024 who showed exceptional dedication to public interest or public service law while at teh Law School. We also honored 2024 Distinguished Columbia Law School Graduate Andrea McChristian, policy director at the Southern Poverty Law Center and previously law and policy director for the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice.
The honorees included 250 3Ls and LL.M.s who demonstrated their commitment to justice through pro bono, summer work, leadership positions, public interest engagements, racial justice advocacy, their postgraduate plans, and more. This marked a 50% increase in the number of honorees from 2023.
We are proud of these honorees! We can't wait to see how they change the world.
