The discussion will also cover key industry trends relevant to their fields. Additionally, the panel will explore the Department of Justice's critical role in our democracy and its impact on the broader U.S. legal and governmental system. Following the panel discussion, students will have the opportunity to network directly with these alumni, allowing for further discussion and connections.
