Young Lawyers Group Mentoring Program
The Young Lawyers Group is pleased to offer a Lawyer/Law Student Mentoring Program. This tremendously successful program is now in its third year. The first year of the program in 2008 paired 30 law students with young lawyer mentors; last year the program more than doubled to over 70 pairings. This program is an excellent way to meet successful lawyers in all fields of law, fostering professional development as well as participation in the Jewish community. We encourage you to sign up now.
- Law Students: Registration is available online for law students looking to be mentored. Sign up online now. Please forward this on to your fellow classmates as well!
- Lawyers: To become a mentor email younglawyers@juf.org with your name, firm, specialty/area of expertise, law school, graduation year, and lastly any special requests you may have in terms of a mentee.
