The Business Law Practitioners Series, a career-focused series for students, invites distinguished alumni practitioners and friends of the law school to share insights with students about legal and business careers in an informal lunch-time setting. Pizza and soda are provided. Students learn of the many facets of business and business law, and also develop an appreciation of the breadth of careers for which their legal education prepares them. Our guests describe their work, explain the nature of the issues they regularly address and talk with students following their presentations. The series attracts a wide student audience, from first-year students to those in the LL.M. programs.
