Subscription pricing
Hey folks,
Lately I've been meeting many other 7Sagers who are interested in pursuing a public interest legal career. This is my own area of interest, and in the course of getting prepared for school this fall I've learned a lot about the realities of this type of work and how to position yourself to do it. If I get enough interest on this thread, I'll host a webinar in a couple of weeks for any and all public interest folks.
As we do here at 7Sage, I want to both encourage everyone, and also help people consider if this is a feasible and realistic career path. With few exceptions, public interest career paths are tough, unconventional, and require flexibility and tenacity to break into.
Here are some topics we would discuss:
- What types of legal careers fall within the designation "public interest"?
- How to mitigate debt
- The importance of where you go to school
- What to focus on during school
- How to stay in public interest work for the long term
Interested?

@saldamando150265 yeah usually people group any type of gov't work under public interest
@nicole I would, except I'm 7 hours ahead EST time :(
@mes08820 as with all of our webinars, they are free and open to the public to attend!
There is a chance that we can make this video available for the public as well but at this point I would assume that you'll need to attend the live version.
Will this webinar be available to the general public or just 7sage students? I had 7sage premium for over a year, but since I took the LSAT for the last time in October, my subscription has expired. Is there any way I can listen anyway?
I'm down. Does prosecution fall under public interest work?
Yes, thanks!
I'll be a little late, but I'll be there!
Yes I am interested!!
Yes!!!
This will be happening 5/26 at 8pm ET, folks!
@insidesurgery489 we will - all the webinars are posted after they happen and available to 7Sagers
This would be very helpful information. Hoping that if hold webinar at a time when work intervenes, it can be preserved for later viewing like the rest of the webinar library. Thanks for doing this.
Yes!
@7sagestudentservices love it! Okay people, this is a go. Stay tuned for scheduling info.
yes :)
Judging by the replies to this thread, I guess you could say that... The public is interested.
Yes, I'm interested!
Absolutely - I was planning on asking one of you Sages about this topic after I take the test! So glad you brought this up. I had a corporate attorney friend tell me that it would be a mistake to pursue public interest, as not only would I be unable to repay debt but I'd also be less employable once I came to my senses. :-( Thank you Allison for starting this thread. I'll be keeping an eye out.
This would be amazingly helpful!!
yes please!
Sounds very interesting, I'm in!
I'm in! I'd love to learn more about LRAP programs.
You know I'm in :)
Count me in! Def interested :)
Interested?
Yes, please! =)
