Thank you for serving as a mentor to a St. Thomas Law student this year. Your investment in our students is an essential contribution to the future of our profession and a great encouragement to our entire community. Because of you and the 1,800 experienced legal professionals who have generously contributed their time over the years, St. Thomas Law has been ranked the #1 law school in the nation for practical training. More importantly, we are able to provide each student with a supportive professional relationship that gives them real-world experience and expert advice.
Thank you for all that you do for St. Thomas Law and our students.
This year, we would especially like to thank our 85 “all-star” mentors who have mentored students for 15-19 years and
20 or more years.
