    NAWL MENTOR SIGN-UP

    Thank you for your interest in becoming a NAWL mentor. The NAWL Mentor Program matches attorney mentors from a variety of legal fields and geographic locations with law student mentees. Mentors play a central role in the success of our program by providing encouragement, motivation and support to the law student community. As a mentor you are expected to contact your mentee via email or other preferred method of communication at least once a month. If you can not commit to being a mentor but would still like to become more involved with NAWL in another capacity, please visit our website at nawl.org.
