Please join Seattle University’s Public Interest Law Foundation and Access to Justice Institute* for our annual Evening with Equal Justice. As one of the largest on-campus public interest networking events of the year, law students will have the opportunity to interact and learn from a diverse range of public interest and pro bono attorneys.
This year’s Evening with Equal Justice will begin at 5 p.m. with an introduction by Dean Clark followed by a keynote address by Tarra Simmons ’17, Executive Director of Civil Survival and Skadden Fellow for the Public Defender Association.
