Frequently Asked Questions
What students are allowed to attend the NLSWRC?
Any currently enrolled law student is welcome to attend PBF's NLSWRC! We welcome `1L's through 4E students with an interest in workers' rights advocacy, union-side lawyering, and public interest law. With a variety of topics that intersect with workers' rights, from government work, to immigration, to even how workplace justice intersects with environmental, reproductive, health, immigration, and LGBTQ+ justice, students are bound to find their community and dive deep on the topics that interest them.
