This year’s program will feature “A View from the Bench” discussion with the Honorable Beth Bloom, United States District Court Judge for the Southern District of Florida, followed by remarks from a special guest, Florida Bar President F. Scott Westheimer. This year's event will then feature interactive discussions with attorneys and leaders across the state. A range of topics will be covered that are on the minds of law students, including finding your path to a fulfilling career in law, how to succeed as a young lawyer, and strategies for maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
