A mentor in the profession for every law student
We believe the law is about relationships. It is a social profession. That’s why a hallmark of our law school since our founding has been our award- winning Mentor Externship Program, which focuses exclusively on building your professional network and preparing you to be a member of the legal community. Through Mentor Externship, you will be matched during each year of law school with a legal professional in a practice area aligned to the curriculum or your career interests. You’ll gain experience, develop relationships and
