The 2025 virtual Law & Public Interest Technology Career Fair is co-organized by Temple Beasley School of Law, Penn-Carey School of Law, Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law, and Drexel Kline School of Law. Our objectives in organizing this event are to introduce our law students to the emerging field of public interest technology (PIT), to aid them in navigating professional pathways to build careers in PIT and related fields of technology policy, civil rights and social justice work, to provide a dedicated networking opportunity for students and potential employers, and to strengthen a community of practice across our institutions and within our region.  

The Law & PIT Career Fair focuses on protecting and expanding access to justice in increasingly digital-dominated societies, as well as promoting diversity in law and PIT career pathways among women, people of color, LGBTQ+ and people from disadvantaged economic backgrounds. Now in its second year, the event sets an important precedent for legal programs across the country by offering more structured pathways, like those utilized in traditional legal job recruitment processes, to aid job seekers who have an interest in legal careers that focus on digital civil rights, tech accountability, and expanding the use of technology and data as public goods serving meaningful public interest goals.
