“Women and the Law” – A panel discussion

Featuring a group of successful women in the field of law and legal studies, with very different career paths, the event promises to inspire a discussion on the trials and rewards of pursuing a career in the law. The leadership qualities and spirit that these women embody will inspire you, whether you are considering becoming a lawyer, a judge or a professor; or looking at your next steps within your current career.

From taking the plunge into the law, balancing a career and other aspects of your life, and everything in between, our expert panel will share with you what they have learned along the way.
