Five students and Professor Dina Haynes attended the 26th Annual Robert M. Cover Retreat which brings together public interest minded law students, academics, and practitioners. Hayat Bearat, Tristan Brown, Benjamin Jones, Christina Liwski, and Racheal Michaud enjoyed a weekend filled with exciting discussions, interesting topics, and opportunities to relax and enjoy time away from the law school environment. “We listened to various keynote speakers and panel discussions and were able to select which workshops we wanted to go to. The workshops covered so many areas of practice that I was able to go to international human rights, labor laws in Mexico, and women in the legal profession workshops.” Hayat Bearat ‘2015.
Graduating student Benjamin Jones stated “The Retreat is a tradition that I plan to continue after I graduate-next year as a practitioner. The contacts I left the woods with have proven directly on point with the public interest efforts I am pursuing upon my return to my home state of Maine.”
