Tonkon Torp partner Parna Mehrbani was a guest speaker at the Lewis & Clark Summer Institute, a week-long program offered by the school’s Academic Enhancement Program. The Summer Institute introduces incoming 1L students to legal studies, law school, and the legal profession.
During her talk, Parna focused on three key areas that contribute to a person’s professional identity. These are identifying and navigating imposterism, being professional in a variety of situations and environments, and maintaining authenticity within entrenched cultural and professional norms. She shared personal anecdotes from her own career as well as general advice on the importance of integrity and honesty in the practice of law.
