Join emerging lawyers Jacqueline Carranza of Elefterakis, Elefterakis & Panek, Ingrid Fernandez of Mizrahi Kroub, Katlyn Palmatier of Mesidor PLLC, and Evan Richardson of Harman Green LLC for a candid and interactive roundtable about their experience as new plaintiff-side employment practitioners, including: (1) how plaintiff-side law firms can nourish a pipeline of lawyers and counteract the push to BigLaw, including by conveying how this field can be rewarding; (2) best practices for nurturing emerging lawyers, including brokering mentorship relationships, providing clear guidance and feedback, and creating safe spaces for making mistakes; (3) supporting differences in personal identity, politics, and principles with colleagues, supervisors and adversaries, particularly in the current climate; and (4) recognizing the personal challenge of dealing with the erosion of civil rights protections when one’s own rights are at issue.
