Join us for an engaging conversation with Leigh Goodmark, a practicing attorney, legal scholar, and bestselling author, as we explore how gender analysis reshapes the way we think about law and institutional power.

The evening begins with a reception from 4:00 to 4:30 PM with light refreshments and the opportunity to meet the speaker. At 4:30 PM, Professor Goodmark will offer reflections on the intersections of gender, law, and social justice. The conversation will conclude with an open Q&A focused on preparing for law school, navigating the legal profession, and thinking critically about who the law protects and why.

This event is especially designed for students considering law school, preparing for the LSAT, or interested in Gender Studies, politics, public policy, and social justice, but all are welcome.

 Come join us for an evening of conversation about how learning to think like a lawyer can help us rethink power, justice, and the future of the law.
