On August 15th, NPLA hosted a panel of junior associates to get an inside look at the experience of being a junior associate at a plaintiffs' firm! Our virtual attorney panel included Fred Messner of Keller Postman LLC, Molly Frandsen from Outten & Golden LLP, Emily Beale at Gibbs Law Group LLP, and Panish | Shea | Boyle | Ravipudi LLP's Jon Davidi.

The culture of law school convinces students of a false binary where their options are defending corporate misconduct in a Manhattan high-rise or becoming a public defender and struggling to pay their bills. In the past few years, PLAs have emerged on campuses across the country because students want a different option. NPLA was formed because so many of our law schools have failed to provide it.
