Lunch with Judges-In-Residence
Every fall for the last seven years - we bring two amazing and inspiring members of the bench to spend two days with us immersed in community at Berkeley Law as our Judges-in-Residence. We are thrilled to be welcoming Judge Birotte and Judge Pillard to campus from September 23 - 24, 2019.
As a part of their visit, I put together small events that allow for our students (particularly 1Ls) to have one-on-one interaction with the judges. A big goal for this program is to make sure that the judges meet and get in front of as many 1Ls in their first semester of law school as is possible!
