Thursday, April 14, 2011 - 5:00 pm
Reception to immediately follow

Join the ABA Criminal Justice Section for an insightful panel discussion that will consider whether an increase in minorities in public sector positions will reduce racial bias and disparity in the criminal justice system.  The panelists, along with other invited guests, will also serve as a resource for law students and young lawyers, highlighting the value of becoming active in the bar and providing real world examples of how professional associations can assist law students and young lawyers in their legal careers and enhance their opportunities now and in the future.

A reception will follow, and attendees will have an opportunity to network with representatives from federal, state and local government agencies, such as prosecution and public defender offices, and receive information on how to obtain internships or permanent employment in the public sector.
