SECTION UPDATE
PUBLIC INTEREST LAW
The Public Interest Law Section has had a busy and
engaging 2018-2019 calendar year. We had a small
dinner with Stephen Bright and young public inter-
est attorneys in November. Stephen Bright is the
Southern Center for Human Rights’ founder and
currently a law professor at Yale and Georgetown
Universities. PILS hosted a voter registration drive
in a low-income Atlanta community, and had our
annual Christmas party. Looking forward to 2019,
we are planning an immigration panel discussion,
a small group dinner with former Deputy Attorney
General and current partner at King and Spalding,
Sally Yates, and a spring happy hour. We hope you
will join us at one of our upcoming events.

WHY I JOINED THE ATLANTA BAR
“THROUGH THE ATLANTA BAR, I HAVE MET LAWYERS WHO I COUNT AMONG
MY BEST FRIENDS AND HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED TO MENTORS WHO HAVE
STOOD BESIDE ME AND GUIDED ME THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE CAREER.
THE ATLANTA BAR HAS HELPED ME LEARN ABOUT HOW TO BE A LAWYER AND
WHO I WOULD BE AS A LAWYER.”
