TLA's 19th Law Day on the Hill is This Thursday, March 4, 2021 -- Still Time to Register!

When I was at Tufts (2000 grad), I remember going to an evening event that was hosted by some local law firms and Tufts Career Services about the working in the legal industry.  It was a fun and memorable program where I had the opportunity to meet practicing attorneys and evaluate career options -- both short term and long term.  That event led my to apply to some of the local law firms for paralegal positions after I graduated.  

A couple of years after I graduated, probably the same core group of Tufts lawyers who saw the benefit of creating a network of Tufts attorneys started Law Day on the Hill -- an annual event where Tufts Alumni in the legal field come back to campus to talk about the practice of law with Tufts students.  Law Day has occurred every year since 2002 in late February or early March.  Each year, we have one or two program co-chairs that plan and moderate the meeting.  

This year, our Law Day Co-Chairs, Melissa John and Dara Lynn Freytag have an amazing virtual Law Day on the Hill planned.  While we cannot roam campus this year, we do have the added flexibility of inviting TLA members wherever located to attend. The program will have two parts:

First, a panel discussion about law practice in the healthcare and biotechnology sectors.  We have four amazing panelists from different areas of the legal healthcare sector, including a member of Pfizer's Covid-19 team (Suzan Levin)!  The panelists will talk about their career paths and what it is like to practice in the healthcare industry.  

Second, we will have time for two different networking breakout sessions.  The breakout rooms will be designed for different practice areas including policy/government, law firms, in-house counsel, and law school.  

For TLA Members (Tufts Alumni who attend or graduated law school), Law Day is a great event to network with fellow TLA members and to share your experience with Tufts students. I am always astonished at the caliber of the Tufts students I meet at Law Day. 

For Tufts Students, this is an opportunity to get a preview at what a legal career may look like for you.  It is a chance to meet friendly and welcoming Tufts Alumni who want to share their experiences and help you out.  

See  you on Thursday!  If you have not yet registered, please do so today.
