As legal recruiting continued to evolve and start earlier in students’ first year of law school, Berkeley Law’s Career Development Office (CDO) considered different ways to support 1Ls and put them in the best possible position for success. A new program, the weekly Coffee Chat Series, is producing a fruitful partnership between Berkeley Law and employers across the private and public sectors. Each Thursday, the series facilitates informal, in-person conversations that help 1Ls explore career options and get to know potential employers in a more casual, lower stress, smaller group environment. Collectively, the sessions feature 43 participating employers. They include representatives from BigLaw and plaintiff-side firms, district attorney and public defenders’ offices, city and county attorneys, direct legal service nonprofits, judges (including an appearance from U.S. District Court Judge Michael Fitzgerald ’85, Central District of California), judicial clerks and staff attorneys, the California Supreme Court, the Navajo Nation Supreme Court, and nine California Department of Justice sections.

Thank you to Professor Leah Litman — Strict Scrutiny co-host, law professor, and former Supreme Court clerk — for joining us at Berkeley Law to discuss her new book Lawless: How the Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and Bad Vibes. Mass Media @ Berkeley Law and the American Constitution Society hosted the discussion, with Professor Amanda Tyler leading a thoughtful conversation on how to understand the Court’s current direction through the lens of culture and everyday experiences. Co-sponsored by the Thelton E. Henderson Center for Social Justice and the California Law Review.
