Mentor Externship Program

The Mentor Externship Program is required in all three years of law school. More than 500 attorneys and judges volunteer each year to mentor our students. The Mentor Externship Program has three primary objectives:

1.  To instill in students a better understanding of the responsibilities of being a professional;

2. To provide students with both an experiential window through which to view the professional world and exposure to the diverse spectrum of work that lawyers and judges do;

3. To create an intergenerational conversation about the practice of law and the profession; Mentors are assigned over the summer and students will learn the name of their mentor at Mentor Externship orientation during the first week of school.

To begin the process, you will be asked to complete and return a First-Year Mentor Assignment Form. Some students secure their mentor on their own, outside of the program. If you do this, you will be required to complete a Student Choice of Mentor Form. These forms will be available soon and will be mailed to you.
