Thank you so much to the Judges and students who attended the Law Student Program the Chapter hosted at the federal courthouse in Houston this evening. The students had an opportunity to learn from Hon. Jennifer Walker Elrod, Hon. Christina Bryan, Hon. Charles Eskridge, and Hon. Chris Lopez during a panel discussion, which was moderated by Jordan Warshauer. After the panel, we had a networking reception where the students had a chance to talk with numerous federal judges, interns, and law clerks. We also recognized the Blask Fellows during this event. Many thanks also to the planning committee! It was a great opportunity for law students to learn more about the federal judiciary.
