Friends of Free Speech: Networking Happy Hour

Date: June 12, 2026
Location:
Washington, DC: Private Event

Start the summer with an evening above downtown D.C. alongside fellow legal clerks and attorneys working to defend civil liberties, individual rights, and the rule of law. FIRE is teaming up with Pacific Legal Foundation, Cato Institute, the Institute for Justice, and the New Civil Liberties Alliance to host a casual rooftop reception for legal clerks in Washington, D.C.

Join us on Friday, June 12, for drinks, light bites, and conversation with staff from the co-hosting organizations. Whether you’re new to the city or already plugged into the D.C. legal scene, this is a great chance to meet peers, make connections, and kick off the summer in good company.

Space is limited. Please email fire.events@fire.org to RSVP.
