Pursuing public interest work calls for resources, support, and dedication. From incubators to working groups, we’re here to help alumni make it happen.

PRACTICE / AFFINITY GROUPS

Connect with other alumni in your area of law or interests within social justice work and help welcome new graduates into the field by joining our alumni-directed Google Groups. Get referrals, help as you encounter a new twist on a legal challenge, or involved in discussions of new developments in the field.

Each group is led by co-facilitators who are alumni with at least 3 years of experience in the field. Co-facilitators provide basic administration and oversight for the group, recruit new members, and generate meetings and discussions. If you’d like to facilitate a group, let us know!
