Student Mentor Program

The alumni-student mentor program matches students in any year of the J.D. program with U of T law graduates. Meeting in small groups or on an individual basis, mentors share their experiences and provide an opportunity for students to explore areas of law in which they show particular interest.

The program is individually tailored to students’ interests. The goals of the mentorship program are:

  • To introduce law students to law professionals in an informal setting that is outside the recruitment process;
  • To give students an opportunity to learn about the legal profession from lawyers with diverse backgrounds working in various fields;
  • To give students an opportunity to find role models in the legal community who can share experiences and advice that may help students choose the academic programs and career paths that are right for them.

For Students

The newly expanded mentorship program is now available to all JD program students (3-year and combined programs). We hope you will take advantage of this tremendous opportunity to connect with the law school’s alumni, learn more about the legal profession and explore the various opportunities that a legal education can provide.
