2010 Alumni Program & Reception
Service Opportunities in the Public Interest Law Community: Board Service, Pro Bono Work and Other Volunteer Roles
PILI held a program and reception for Alumni on Thursday, April 8th, hosted by Kirkland & Ellis LLP. The one hour program will focused on providing information to alumni about pro bono, board service and other volunteer opportunities within the public interest law community. Following the program, there was an informal networking reception for Alumni. At this program, we provided the latest listings of board service and pro bono opportunities available within Chicago’s public interest law community. This program was recorded and a video will be available shortly.
The next Alumni Program & Networking Reception will be held in 2011. Check back here later this year for details.
