Working as an Attorney in the Nonprofit Sector (with Ben Carter‪)‬ Kentucky Resources Council

In this third episode of the Kentucky Environmental Leadership Institute, we continue our first season focus of providing information for those attorneys and soon-to-be-attorneys who want to practice environmental law.

We interview Ben Carter, Senior Litigation & Advocacy Counsel at the Kentucky Equal Justice Center (KEJC) in Kentucky. Before coming to the KEJC, Ben worked in Legal Aid and private practice. With a wealth of experience in consumer law, Ben offers a unique perspective on what it is like to work with clients and help them pursue justice. 

Listen now to learn more about how Ben came to find himself as an attorney in the nonprofit sector, how taking the time to pursue your interests can broaden your horizons, and how a pandemic doesn't have to stop us from pursuing a fair and just Kentucky.
