Attorney-Mentor Program

Willamette’s School of Law has the oldest practitioner-student program in Oregon. Our Attorney-Mentor Program matches first-year students with attorneys and judges. The program is designed to promote the professional development of students through an informal exchange of ideas and experiences. Attorney-mentor may offer their mentees career advice and encouragement during the first year of law school as well as including them in various work-related activities and local networking events in the legal community. Mentors can help their mentees make the transition from law student to professional.

The mentor relationship serves as the first building block in a rich network of connections students will make throughout their legal careers.  Our goal is for Willamette students to be prepared, not only for the intellectual rigors of practicing law but also for the continued growth and development required of a professional. 

If you are interested in participating, please fill out the online form or email law-career@willamette.edu. We encourage all attorneys and judges to join our program.
