These legal professionals are looking for opportunities to support first generation lawyers. If you are interested in a legal career and are between the ages of seventeen and twenty-one, take a look at our Wall of Mentors and then Request a Mentor at the bottom of the page.
What happens when you get matched?
We introduce you to a mentor that can help answer questions about law school and the profession. We also hope to host events to bring mentees and mentors together for in-person conversations.
Once you request a mentor, we will also provide you with a list of tips for making this a helpful and safe interaction. As an additional safety measure, we utilize the Remind messaging platform.
