Join the Justice Center for the first EmPOWERed for Public Interest (EPI) lunch of the semester! This event is part of the Justice Center initiative designed to support students whose lived experiences intersect with the legal systems they aspire to challenge in their careers. For instance, students who have themselves or had family members become entangled in the criminal legal system and are interested in public defense work; immigrant students or students who are the children or family members of immigrants seeking to challenge the immigration system; and low-income students seeking to challenge intersecting laws and policies that further marginalize poor people, such as predatory lending, cash bail, etc. EPI gatherings are a safe space for dialogue, mentorship, and resource-sharing tailored to the needs and strengths of students whose work as public interest law students and future attorneys may directly relate to their own lived experiences or those of their loved ones.
Please RSVP by noon on Monday, October 27.
