On November 7, the Public Interest Legal Advocates of Regent (PILAR), in partnership with Regent University School of Law Career and Alumni Services, hosted a panel titled, "Women in the Law." Panelists included Dannielle Hall-McIvor, Associate City Attorney for Virginia Beach City Attorney's Office; Jennifer Williams, Assistant Commonwealth Attorney from the Newport News Commonwealth Attorney's Office; Virginia Van Valkenburg, Assistant United States Attorney from the Eastern District of Virginia and Mr. Kevin Reep, Human Resources Manager for the US Attorney's office in Norfolk and proud father of Jessica Reep, a current 1L.
The President and Vice President, Madeline Jones, and Leata Laidlow respectively, introduced the panel and moderated the questions. Regent Law students enjoyed lunch and a lively discussion about the unique aspects of being a woman in the legal profession, focusing on the female perspective and issues women encounter in the workplace and court. Panelists answered questions from the moderator and audience and the exchange was insightful and inspiring.
Student turnout was one of the best for the semester. This panel was another unique opportunity offered through our career development series for students to hear valuable advice and guidance from three distinguished local ladies of the law.
