The Third-Annual JLSA Career Day

The Third Annual JLSA Career Day at Cornell Law School offers students a meaningful opportunity to engage with complex topics and learn from accomplished legal professionals. Hosted by the Jewish Law Students Association (JLSA), this year’s program features discussions and a signature Shabbat dinner with Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Wecht. The event is designed to explore what it means to be a young Jewish attorney and to reflect on Jewish values and experiences within the legal profession.
