Careers in Progressive Law and Policy

ACS at Michigan Law is excited to welcome Elizabeth Wilkins, CEO of The Roosevelt Institute, for a conversation about post-JD careers in progressive law and policy. The Roosevelt Institute is a think tank, student network, and nonprofit partner to the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum that seeks to advance progressive policies on issues of corporate and public power, labor and wages, and the economics of race and gender inequality.

Wilkins formerly served as chief of staff to FTC Chair Lina Khan and director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission. She also served as a senior advisor to the White House chief of staff, in senior leadership roles at the D.C. Office of the Attorney General, and as a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan and then-Chief Judge of the D.C. Circuit, Merrick Garland.
