Upcomming Event: Making A Difference: Using Your Law Degree

By Brian Rowe | January 28, 2008

If you have the chance I recommend attending the “Making A Difference: Using Your Law Degree to Make the World a Better Place No Matter Where You Go in Your Career - and Life.”

Seattle University School of Law
Thursday, February 28, 2008
5:00 p.m. to 7:20 p.m. • Room C1
Seattle University School of Law, Sullivan Hall
12th and Columbia

Judge Horowitz and Professor McKay continue their popular series by focusing on the development of excellent professional skills and exploring the opportunities and barriers to serving the public interest as a lawyer. Working for the powerless and the poor requires that attorneys continuously learn and improve their skills throughout their careers. This requirement is essential not only to personal success, but as much, if not more, for making a difference in the lives of clients and in the community. Along with exciting guest speakers, Judge Horowitz and Professor McKay will explore opportunities for public service, lay bare existing barriers to these opportunities, and demonstrate the importance of skills development in attaining and exercising personal and professional freedom. They will explain and show how public service choices on often unpredictable opportunities and barriers can shape our professional lives – and our lives as a whole.

This is the third in the four-part series “Making A Difference: Using Your Law Degree to Make the World a Better Place No Matter Where You Go in Your Career - and Life,” aimed at encouraging students, lawyers and others to make a place for public service in their careers and their lives.
