Law School Mentoring

Providing talented, diverse first-year law students with practical advice and guidance they need to maximize their potential in law school and beyond.

LCLD Mentors are top legal professionals from LCLD Member organizations who actively invest their time, experiences, and resources into their Mentees’ development. Ask any successful attorney: nothing propels a legal career like having a great mentor.

We are currently accepting Mentor and Mentee applications for the 2023-24 academic year.

Please note that applications will close on December 15, 2023.
