Do Good & Live Well
Suffolk’s chapter of the American Constitution Society, in partnership with the Torts Law Society, is hosting a panel in order to facilitate a conversation exploring the work of trial lawyers, the importance of civil justice work, and its potential to positively shift the balance towards justice. “Progressive” legal paths tend to only lead to public interest/government jobs so we intend to provide another option for students who want to combine their legal advocacy with their beliefs.
