Both male and female law students are welcome and encouraged to attend.
WHAT: The mentoring program pairs practicing attorneys and judges in theSouth Florida legal community with law students. The mentors and mentees are encouraged to meet, e-mail or telephone as frequently as desired to establish a meaningful mentoring relationship designed to assist the students in developing their legal careers. The program is intended to provide mentoring to the students for one school year, although many past mentees have maintained an ongoing relationship with their mentors. Follow up events for mentor-mentee pairings will take place throughout the year.
