This panel examines how attorneys across the spectrum engage with regulation not as a barrier, but as a shared framework that supports functioning markets and protects the public. Whether advising businesses, defending institutions, or advocating for individuals, each panelist interacts with regulatory systems that shape and promote accountability. By exploring how each side of the “v.” interprets, applies, and sometimes challenges regulatory requirements, this diverse panel will illustrate the role of legal practitioners throughout distinct but interconnected practices. 

Lunch in the Library Atrium following the Panel, or participants may choose to join a noon program.

Hosted by the Christian and Catholic student organizations.

"Practicing in your Passion" invites students to hear from attorneys who let Christ redirect or refine their careers into the areas of law where they were truly called. Discover how faith can move you from “what you’re doing” to “what you’re meant for,” and why trusting God with your vocation can open doors you never expected. Panelists will discuss the impact of their faith on their practice and in choosing their practice.
