Did you know that practicing law is just one of numerous things you can do with a JD degree? Many companies and organizations across various industries often seek to hire lawyers for non-attorney roles - which can be just as engaging and rewarding as practicing law! These career paths are known as "JD Advantage" careers (or JDA).

This casual panel conversation will feature 4 BU Law alumni currently working in law-adjacent careers. Come to learn about their backgrounds, their current work, and whether you might one day want to consider a similar path!
