1L Mentoring Program

The Alumni Mentor Program will pair 1L students with a local alumnus, offering the opportunity for students to gain insight about the legal profession, the realities of practicing law, and the difficulties and satisfaction of a legal career. The mentor will also serve as a source of guidance and support regarding the Gonzaga Law School experience.

E-Mentoring Program
The E-Mentoring Program is similar to the 1L Mentoring Program except mentors are located throughout the U.S. During their second year, students will be matched with alumni mentors in geographic areas of high interest to them. Although most communication will be done via e-mail and telephone conversation, most students attempt to meet their mentor at least once.

Program Goals:

• Expand a law student's understanding of the practice of law outside of the classroom
• Expose law students to the art of practicing law through the perspective of a practitioner
• Instill in law students the pride and integrity of legal practice
• Provide students with a qualified, committed attorney role model
• Introduce law students to the legal community and provide networking opportunities
• Provide a voice of experience for students in the study of law
