"This interactive workshop will be a place to confront the hard issues law students face balancing student debt, career choices, family obligations and a desire to use legal skills to change the world. We will explore the complexities of navigating different kinds of pressures and retaining a focus on doing work that we feel passionate about and believe in. We'll talk about how to put our own choices in the broader context of the domestic and global wealth gaps, and how to build community conversations about the ethical choices we face when it comes to money amongst our friends and colleagues."
