The recap
The first episode. A room full of possibility.
The AWS community gathered at Bombay Theatre for the pilot premiere: a first look at the hosts’ paths through law school and into public defense, created to encourage young people of color to see a future in the legal profession.
The original AWS recap describes more than 300 attendees, an hour-long screening, introductions and a Q&A with the team. Guests also had time to mix and mingle over wine, beer, and finger foods.
