The Center for Women in Law's Institute for Law and Leadership was developed to offer guidance to Texas Law students as they are discovering the law (1L), seeking jobs (2L), and preparing for the beginning of their careers (3L). Our student-focused panel topics, developed with law student input, focus on what is crucial in bridging the gap between being a law student and becoming an effective lawyer. The event is full of opportunities to network, create mentorship opportunities, and learn how to put your best foot forward into the world outside Texas Law. Our panelists and speakers are leaders in their legal fields and are excited to impart their first hand knowledge for how to succeed in a legal career. Join us!
