Current KABA members are invited to participate in KABA's Mentorship Program for 2023!
Program Description:
KABA’s Mentorship Program is designed to connect law students and junior attorneys with more senior attorneys by creating mentorship “families” consisting of mentors and mentees.
The program is intended to:
- Foster relationships among KABA law students and more experienced attorneys, providing mentee law students with a variety of perspectives on law school, the bar exam, and the practice of law; and
- Foster relationships among more experienced attorneys and entry level attorneys who may be new to a particular practice area or who are navigating the first few years of their legal career.
Mentorship families will be matched based on practice area and/or preferred geographic area to the extent possible. Mentors within the families will include government attorneys, law firm partners, solo practitioners, public interest lawyers, and in-house counsel.
Program Guidelines:
- The mentorship commitment is for the 2023 calendar year.
- Mentorship families are encouraged to attend KABA events together, including our Annual Membership Meeting & Mentorship Program Kickoff which will take place in-person on Thursday, February 23, 2023 at 6pm at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, 555 South Flower Street, Suite 3700, Los Angeles, CA 90071.
- Mentors are also asked to attend a virtual zoom meeting on Tuesday, February 21, 2023 at 5pm to review program expectations and guidelines (more information will be provided to the mentors prior to the event).
- All participants must be KABA members. Membership for law students is free.
