DESCRIPTION:Developing your professional identity and expanding your profes
 sional network are important aspects of the law school experience. Establi
 shing\, cultivating\, and maintaining a professional relationship with an 
 attorney-mentor can help with professional development and in navigating y
 our career. The University of Colorado Law School’s mentoring program ma
 tches 1L/rising 2L and 2L/rising 3L students with attorneys-mentors for a 
 one-on-one mentoring experience.\n\nStudents accepted to the CDO’s mento
 ring program commit to their mentor-mentee relationship for 12 months. Dur
 ing that time\, students and their mentors are expected to connect once or
  twice a month. When in-person meetings are not an option\, virtual platfo
 rms such as Zoom\, alongside telephone calls\, have proven to be effective
  tools for building and maintaining a connection.\n\nThere are many benefi
 ts to be gained through mentoring. The list in this article clearly identi
 fies some practical ways a person can benefit from having a mentor. Buildi
 ng and maintaining a relationship with a mentor can be especially helpful 
 for law students who are first-generation college graduates or professiona
 ls. Career paths\, navigating law school\, professional norms\, networking
  opportunities\, professional skills development\, and other areas of prof
 essional interest are all appropriate topics of discussion as you build an
 d deepen your relationship with your mentor. A mentor may also be willing 
 to serve as one of the attorney references required by some bar admission 
 applications. Please note it will not be your mentor’s responsibility to
  provide you with employment leads or a job.\n\nIf you would like to parti
 cipate in Colorado Law’s mentorship program and if you are committed to 
 fully engaging with this program and an assigned mentor for 12 months\, pl
 ease complete this brief questionnaire by May 21. We plan to match student
 s accepted into the program with their mentors in late June. The mentoring
  year will start at the beginning of July 2026 and close at the end of Jun
 e 2027.\n\nIf you have any questions\, feel free to email Alexia McCaskill
 \, the CDO’s Senior Director for Professional Development or drop by her
  Wednesday afternoon drop in hours.
