Interested in making a good living AND doing fulfilling work? Join PALS for a discussion with Bill Reid, a nationally recognized plaintiffs' lawyer and professor at Texas Law, about what it's like to have a career in plaintiffs' law! Over lunch, Bill will present a compelling case for an alternative to the standard law school Big Law track, including the moral satisfaction of representing people who have been wronged, what a young associate can expect to work on at a plaintiffs’ firm, and how Artificial Intelligence poses a grave threat to the billable hour. If you’re interested in learning more before the event, check out his recently published book, "Fighting Bullies: The Case for a Career in Plaintiffs' Law."

Specific audiences:
  • Texas Law students
Sponsored by:
