Jeff Rowes, a senior attorney with the Institute for Justice will discuss his public interest career path. The Institute for Justice, the nation’s leading libertarian public interest law firm, prides itself on offering the best of both worlds: cutting-edge constitutional litigation, combined with competitive pay. Sound interesting? Learn what steps you can take now to put yourself on a path to litigating the kind of cases you read about in the newspaper and your casebooks. Lunch will be served.
