Charting Your Legal Future Part 1

  • Goodwin Procter 100 Northern Avenue Boston, MA, 02210 United States (map)

Join the BLG for part one of its Charting Your Legal Future Series, focused on demystifying different private practice settings. Through a conversation moderated by BLG Executive Director Tracey West, and panelists from BLG member firms, the program will provide participating law students of color with critical information about private practice settings to better prepare them to determine what kind of workplace setting may be one in which they succeed and thrive.

The event will illuminate the different opportunities for those working at a national firm with large Boston offices as well at a national firm with a smaller Boston office. The panel will be followed by a networking hour with a reception. Part two of the series will take place on November 16 will focus on working at large Boston-only firms as well as mid-sized firms.

Students should be prepared to ask questions, network, and hear advice on different career paths.
