Public Defender Brown Bag Lunch Series

Every Friday from 12:30-1:30pm EST, Sept. 8 – Dec. 1

Thinking about becoming a public defender? Throughout the fall, PILC is hosting brown bag lunches with public defender offices from around the country. These informative discussions will give you the opportunity to learn about how to approach a career in public defense, to meet public defenders practicing all over the United States, and to find out about exciting internship and post-graduate opportunities in their offices.

 

All of the lunches, with the exception of those with asterisks, will be held virtually via Zoom here: https://nyu.zoom.us/j/99580737281 (Meeting ID: 995 8073 7281). Students who need a quiet space to participate are welcome to use the PILC/OCS Library, located on the 4th Floor of Furman Hall, Suite 430.

Please note that these lunches are not geared toward a particular class year, and any interested students are welcome and encouraged to attend.
