2011-2012 Lawyer To Law Student Mentor Program
The Akron Bar Association’s University of Akron Liaison Committee needs your help!!!! The 2011 - 2012 Lawyer to Law Student Mentor Program begins Thursday October 6th. Thanks to your generosity, the program has been a success for many years, and we hope to continue that success with the 2011-2012 Program.
We have made several exciting modifications to this year’s Program, including a change in the start and end dates so that the Program now corresponds with the school year. In addition, we are requiring each potential law student mentee to attend a mandatory one-hour mentee training session, during which we will reinforce the importance of taking the Program seriously.
We would very much value your participation as a mentor. The Program pairs local attorneys with University of Akron law students to create a mentoring relationship through which the mentor provides the mentee with guidance and practical perspective about the practice of law. The Bar Association provides a pool of potential activities, and the mentor and mentee select several activities from that pool to meet their individual needs and goals. Activities include a tour of the mentor’s office, a visit to a courthouse and attendance at a Bar Association committee meeting.
The 2011 - 2012 Program will kick off October 6th at the Meet your Mentor reception at the Akron Bar Association Offices from 5:00-6:30 p.m. If you are willing to participate please complete the online registration form by
