Why MIT Students Should Go to Law School
Rosalind Williams, Professor, Science, Technology, & Society, Ed Barrett, Sr Lecturer, Writing and Humanistic Studies
Fri Jan 28, 01-03:00pm, E51-095

Enrollment limited: first come, first served
Limited to 40 participants.
Single session event

MIT is renowned for its education in science and engineering—but this does not mean you should limit your life plans to a becoming a scientist or engineer. Some of the most intellectually challenging and socially significant dimensions of science and engineering are encountered in legal careers. This session is designed to introduce MIT undergraduates to three lawyers whose practices involve different aspects of science and engineering, ranging from broadband policy to patent law to research university issues. The three lawyer-guests will describe their practices in order to give an overview of the various possibilities for legal careers that MIT students should consider. They will also respond to questions from the floor in an open discussion. Students will discover how to apply their MIT skills to a career choice they may not have been considering.
