UC women lawyers' mentor program
Women law students at the University of Canberra established the Women Lawyers Mentoring Program to help connect women law students with women lawyers.
This program pairs women law students from the University of Canberra with professional women in the legal sector as a means to empower and develop women studying law. Mentors are free to individually structure their sessions.
Applications for the Semester 1, 2020 mentor program session close at midnight on Tuesday, 10 March 2020. We encourage our members who are interested in being a mentor to register.
The program aims to help female law students to gain insights into the various challenges that they may come across in the industry, as well as some networking and or insights into particular areas of law.
Confirmation of mentor-mentee matching will occur on 16 March 2020. Mentors are required to meet with mentee at least two times throughout the semester with a view to sharing just some of your life as a female in the law. The mentees initiate contact to organise mutually suitable meetings.
The student team running the UC Women Lawyers Mentor Program select the mentees and conduct the matching process.
