Every year, public interest law students, professors, and practitioners gather together at the Robert M. Cover Public Interest Law Retreat to build networks, to discuss the status of public interest law, and to learn more about what a public interest legal career is like. The retreat brings to life the vision of Robert Cover, a Yale Law School professor and social change activist. This year, the Cover Retreat will take place from March 4-6, 2011 at the Sargent Center in Peterborough, New Hampshire.
It presents the opportunity for public interest law students from across the country to come together to meet each other and graduates who are paving the way for successful public service careers. There will be workshops designed to give students a sense of what a career in public interest law is like, as well as opportunities to network with lawyers who have chosen these fields.
