As you complete your first year of law school, you might be wondering, what comes next? Our panel of lawyers will pave the way for your success, discussing how “GRIT” can play an important role in your career growth and how to make the most of your summer experience. A networking reception with panelists, members of our firm and invited guests from the business community will follow the conversation.

This event is named after Ron Brown and Louis Stokes, former colleagues of Squire Patton Boggs, who strived for equality in the legal industry and the communities in which they lived and worked, and left a strong legacy for others to follow.
