Hi, everyone!

Good morning and happy Tuesday, OutLaw! I hope you all had a relaxing Indigenous People's Day! Let us know if there is anything we can do to make your week better.

Looking ahead, mark your calendars for the OutLaw X Wilson Sonsini Panel: Demystifying Practice Groups on Thursday, October 24th from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm in Room 410. Chipotle will be provided! This is a great opportunity to learn more about different practice areas and get some insight into what it’s like to work at a top firm with a commitment to LGBTQ+ inclusion. It's also a great opportunity to get some free Chipotle!
