Details

Did you know? Attorney roles are not the only jobs available to JDs! This panel event will teach you about other possible paths to explore. Panelists will include several distinguished BU Law alums engaged in “JD Advantage” jobs, i.e. roles that do not require a JD or bar passage, but in which a JD’s skills and qualifications nonetheless are distinctly beneficial. The alums will share how their career journeys led them to non-attorney positions, what type of work they do from day to day, how their JD degree benefits them in their roles, and more! Lunch will be served!

Confirmed panelists:

Marc Fader ’01 – Private Investigator, Quinlan Partners
Tim Hogan ’99 – Chief Compliance Officer, Boston Children’s Hospital
Melissa Maher ’09 – Associate Director of Grants and Contracts, Harvard Medical School
Carolyn Wiesenhahn ’98 – Senior VP of Human Resources, May Institute
