3. Law Student Mentoring Program
On behalf of Victorian Women Lawyers and the Women Barristers Association, I am delighted to invite all female students currently enrolled in Victorian law schools to participate in the 2010 Law Student Mentoring Program.
Now in its third year, the Program has developed into a celebrated vehicle for encouraging the next generation of female lawyers to gain valuable insights into the legal profession from current practitioners.
Wherever possible, each student will be paired with a mentor who shares common professional interests and geographical proximity. Pairs will be expected to meet at least once a month. If there are insufficient mentors to cater for student demand, preference will be given to students in their final or second last year of study. This year’s Program will run from mid-April, 2010 to April, 2011.
