Legally Different: Careers That Break the Mold

Join OWLSS for our Fall conference on Thursday, November 13th from 12:40-1:40 PM in Boyd Law School, Room 235! This year's conference will focus on "non-traditional" legal careers and aims to highlight women leaders who have forged unique and impactful professional paths beyond traditional law firm or courtroom settings. We hope to inspire students to think creatively about how they can apply their legal education to diverse roles in policy, academia, advocacy, and beyond.

Along with a panel discussion, there will be a Q&A portion and lunch will be provided.

Our featured panelists are:
–Kate Hudson, Deputy Vice President and Counsel for Government Relations and Public Policy at the Association of American Universities
