OCS, the American Constitution Society and the Criminal Law Society welcome you to this lunch talk on progressive prosecution with Larry Krasner. Mr. Krasner was officially sworn in for a second term as Philadelphia's 26th District Attorney in January 2022. Throughout his 35-year career, Mr. Krasner has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to social justice, stepping up numerous times in the past to offer his services for free to defend protesters involved with movements like ACT UP, Black Lives Matter, progressive clergy with POWER, Casino-Free Philadelphia, and DACA Dreamers. Early in his career, Mr. Krasner was a federal public defender before going into private practice as a civil rights and criminal defense attorney.

Mr Krasener and some of his colleagues will also be on hand that day in the late morning and early afternoon, to interview 2Ls and 3Ls who might be interested in joining his office. If you are interested in signing up for an informational interview, please email Melissa Warner with a copy of your resume and preferred time.
