AABAR program to offer practical advice to law students in April 26 Zoom event

This Zoom presentation, set for Wednesday, April 26, from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m., is not being offered for CLE credit, and its very title, "Navigating the Legal Field: Advice from MENA Legal Professionals," suggests that this program is aimed at law students or new admittees.

But it is free... and some FWIW readers may know one or more persons who might benefit from the event.

Sponsored by both the Arab American Bar Association of Illinois and Northern Illinois University's Middle Eastern and North African Law Students Association (MENALSA), the panelists will discuss their own "cultural and academic experiences, current professions and hopes for Arab American lawyers," according to a Facebook promotion of the event. The panelists scheduled to appear are:

• Judge William Haddad (ret.) - ADR Systems
• Judge Rouhy Shalabi - Circuit Court of Cook County
• Nura Yanaki - Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP
• Marvet Sweis - MSD Injury Lawyers
• Lana Nassar - Jackson Lewis, P.C.
• Jon Baloch - Baker & McKenzie
• Sara Ghantous - Amdocs, Inc.
