Roadmapping: CLS & Your Public Interest Career

Sep 2026
30

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.

Lunch provided—register in advance to help us prevent food waste. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options will be available. Email us if you have additional dietary requirements; advance notice is appreciated.

Presented by the Office of Public Interest/Public Service Law and Careers (The PI/PS Office) and cosponsors.
