Lawyer-to-Law Student Mentor Program

The Akron Bar Association/University of Akron School of Law’s Lawyer-to-Law Student Mentor Program

The Mentor Program pairs lawyer members of the Akron Bar Association with second year law students at The University of Akron School of Law. Mentors provide guidance and share practical knowledge about the legal profession with their mentees. Together, mentors and their assigned law students participate in activities selected from an activity pool, including visiting the courthouse, attending a bar association meeting or shadowing a lawyer.
