City Bar Summer Series
This annual series features three areas where lawyers and law students can learn about critical practice areas in 2023. We plan to hold these programs in person and webcast the panel presentations. Each program will consist of a one-hour panel presentation followed by small group discussions led by our panel members and other attorneys, giving you the unique opportunity to ask questions and gain significant insight into these exciting practice areas.
This series is free to students and alumni of the sponsoring law schools, $15 for members, and $30 for non-members. Click here to view the 2023 brochure.

Careers in Cybersecurity
August 8, 2023 | 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Cybersecurity and data privacy concerns continue to escalate, making this a hot legal market to enter. International, federal, state, and local laws and regulations in cybersecurity and data privacy are rapidly evolving in response to emerging issues that seem to change almost daily. In response, organizations are working hard to comply and protect the information they hold, paving the way for law firm, in-house, and public sector opportunities for new lawyers, or lawyers in transition. Panelists will discuss how they got started in these areas and what they recommend for breaking into this growing and exciting area of the law.
