Faces of Progressive Lawyering

Join ACS at NYU for a discussion of the many different ways to be a progressive lawyer. Going beyond the public interest/big law dichotomy, our panelists will talk about their experiences in private and public interest firms, public defense, impact litigation, and more! Captioning will be provided. Furthermore, for those in-person, some of the panelists will stick around afterwards for individual networking. 

Panelists will include:

Deborah N. Archer, Professor of Clinical Law and Co-Faculty Director of the Center on Race, Inequality, and the Law; President of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Julia McNally, Adjunct Professor of Clinical Law; Housing Director, The Legal Aid Society,
