Free event! No MCLE

Interested in working in the public sector? This free webinar will be a panel discussion with two attorneys that now work in the public sector – one with the County of Orange and one with the 4th District Court of Appeal. Among other things, in this discussion, the panelists will be asked questions about:

• Their current roles;
• The panelists’ respective path to these positions;
• What each panelist would have done differently;
• What new lawyers should know about working in the public sector (compared to the private sector); and
• Why each panelist enjoys working in the public sector.

Both panelists started their careers in the private sector before transitioning over to work in their current positions, so this is a must watch for new lawyers interested in taking a role in public law now or in the future.
