A professional mentor 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 on being immersed in the U.S. legal system through connections with members of our legal community. Through Mentor Externship, you will be matched with a legal professional aligned to your interests or our curriculum. You’ll gain
experience, develop relationships and learn to navigate the U.S. legal field while earning academic credit. Tommie Connections Around the World More than 2,500 law alumni add value to our St. Thomas Law community, giving back to our students through mentoring, coaching moot court teams, offering career advice and networking, and working and volunteering in the community alongside you.
#2 St. Thomas Law has been ranked as a top school in the country for practical training since 2014, in part because of our Mentor Externship Program. (National Jurist 2023)
1,700+ lawyers and judges have served our students as mentors
“
Having the opportunity to learn from attorneys or judges in a different system is very valuable because the studies go beyond the classroom. The Mentor Program provides hands-on experiences where we cannot only learn from the mentors, but also provide insight and knowledge from our practice to them. It is a very rich interchange of knowledge. - Mónica Sánchez Garita ‘22 LL.M., Costa Rica
