Join NYU's PLA for a conversation with attorneys from Susman Godfrey, one of the nation's premier litigation boutiques, about what it means to build a career in plaintiffs'-side litigation. Partners and associates will discuss why they chose a firm where associates take leadership roles in high-stakes litigation early on, how plaintiffs' work sharpens the skills that make great trial lawyers, and how Susman Godfrey is navigating the current legal climate. They'll also break down their unique four-week summer associate program, which is open to 1Ls, 2Ls, and pre-clerkship 3Ls (with 1L applications opening in June). Whether you're exploring alternatives to traditional BigLaw paths or just curious about what plaintiff-side practice has to offer, this is a panel worth attending. Lunch will be provided.
