About

ABOUT

Mentor in Law is a global mentorship platform that provides networking opportunities, community, and 1:1 mentorship to law students and early-career lawyers. It's mentorship for the modern lawyer.

Digitalization and globalization are shaping contemporary legal practice in unprecedented ways. Lawyers increasingly work outside their ‘home’ jurisdiction: practicing law at international firms and companies, managing matters for international clients, and counseling clients on laws that have borderless implications.

Additionally, there is a significant gap in what is being taught in law schools and what is needed from a modern lawyer in the 21st century.

To bridge the gap between studying law and practicing law and to connect the global legal industry on one platform, we created Mentor in Law.

Do something today that your future self will thank you for.

Mentor in Law is for law students, LLM students, recent law graduates, and lawyers. In particular, we highly recommend first-generation and minority law students and lawyers to sign up.
