TITLE: Learning About Lawyering
Presenting Friday, November 7 at 1:00 p.m.

Lawyers play many roles in the legal ecosystem. Join three legal professionals who've lived it from different angles—a practicing lawyer, a former practicing lawyer now guiding Georgetown Law students through career decisions, and a lawyer-researcher who studies legal careers and makes career discovery tools—to explore how you can navigate your path into law with intention.
We'll cover the practical moves that matter: making the most of prelaw mentorship, approaching career exploration strategically, conducting informational interviews, understanding pre-cruitment timelines, and leveraging resources like the I Am The Law podcast and Georgetown's career exploration tools.
