Lunch With a Lawyer

The Lunch With a Lawyer program was developed by the Career Services Office and the Alumni Relations & Development Office to host attorneys, judges, and business leaders (many of whom are School of Law alumni) who come to the School of Law to visit with students over a noon lunch or late afternoon hors d'oeuvres. The number of students at each event is limited, in order to give all students who participate an opportunity for truly meaningful interaction and conversation with our guests.
