Whether you want to pursue public interest immediately after graduation or are simply curious about how public interest work can fit into your long-term career, this session will help you make the most of your time at CLS.
Hear from upperclass students who have charted a variety of public interest paths and learn how they made decisions about clinics, externships, pro bono, journals, student organizations, leadership opportunities, and summer and term-time internships. You'll leave with a better understanding of the many opportunities available at Columbia, practical advice for planning your law school experience, and the confidence to know that there are many ways to build a meaningful career advancing justice.
