The Power of Attorney
The law impacts every sector of society and every aspect of our lives. At a time when many ask "Why law?," we ask "What more can law do?" Produced by Rutgers Law School, "The Power of Attorney" is an inside look at the power of a legal education for everyone and what it means to be a lawyer. The Power of Attorney is the silver winner of the third Annual Anthem Awards for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion - Podcast or Audio.
