Curious about life as a public defender? Wondering what it’s really like in Big Law? Why not hear from someone who’s done both? Join us for a candid conversation with Shavon Henry, current associate at Goodwin Procter and former attorney at the Contra Costa Public Defender’s Office, as she shares her journey navigating two different corners of the legal world. Whether you’re committed to one path or still exploring your options, this is a space for real questions, honest insight, and open conversation.
