DESCRIPTION:We regret to announce that this conference has been cancelled.
 \n\nThe Faculty of Law and the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism
  welcome Scott Cummings (UCLA)\, who will discuss a study he led with coll
 eagues on what encourages law graduates to stay in public interest careers
 .\n\nAbstract\n\nWe know a great deal about the decline of idealism in law
  school. Conventional wisdom says that large numbers of students enter wit
 h public service aspirations\, but most leave to pursue careers in the pri
 vate sector\, dissuaded and demoralized by law school culture and training
 . What encourages law students to commit to public interest careers over t
 he long-haul—to stay “in it for good”?\n\nOur guests sought to answer that
  question by analyzing data from an empirical study of the graduates of si
 x California law schools between 2001 and 2010. Comparing the impact of en
 dowment effects—what students bring to law school—and educational effects—
 what they experience there—they found that student participation in a suit
 e of public interest programs is related to what they call “public interes
 t persistence.”\n\nTheir study concludes that persistence is a complex pro
 duct of what they bring to law school and what they take from it. The char
 acteristics and experiences students bring with them to law school matter 
 in predicting persistence\, but so do the choices students make and the av
 ailability of resources to support those choices. A critical finding of th
 e authors' study is that law schools play a key role in fostering public i
 nterest careers: nurturing students by providing the experiences and tools
  they need to navigate the job market and persevere over the course of the
 ir professional lives.\n\nOur guest will offer recommendations for law sch
 ools to build on current programs in support of public interest careers.\n
