Join Chicago-area public finance law professionals and other lawyers from across the country for a seminar and networking event on Sunday, March 3. Attendees will learn more about how the $4 trillion municipal bond market finances the critical infrastructure we use each day— from the roads, bridges, and the L lines you take to class; to the drinking water pipes, utility lines, and development that shape the lives of the 9.5 million people who call Chicagoland home. The seminar will be followed by a networking event with light food and beverages where students interested in public finance will get a chance to meet and learn from experienced lawyers working in the field.

All student attendees will be entered into a drawing for a $100 gift card.
