Our annual Summer Pro Bono and Public Interest Forum brings together summer associates, summer interns, lawyers, law students, and legal professionals to discuss pressing legal needs and to learn how to make pro bono or public-interest work a part of their legal careers.
The 2025 Summer Forum features keynote speaker Jamie Raskin, who represents Maryland’s 8th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Congressman Raskin was sworn into his fourth Term at the start of the 118th Congress on January 6, 2023.
Following the keynote, we will share lunch and four breakout sessions where you can learn more about pro bono and public-interest work in DC and across the country. We’re also offering two virtual panels on Tuesday, July 15 and Tuesday, July 22 at noon. Separate registration will be available soon. Registrants for the Summer Forum can attend these sessions for free.
The panel discussions include:
Session One
- Civil Rights & Civil Liberties
- Poverty Law
Session Two
- Criminal Law & Death Penalty
- Immigration & Human Rights
EARLY BIRD PRICING ENDS JUNE 1
