VOLUNTEER ATTORNEYS NEEDED TO MENTOR FUTURE N.C. LAWYERS
The YLD Law Students Activity Committee is seeking attorney volunteers who are willing to serve as mentors to law students who plan to practice law in North Carolina. Most of the students hail from the seven N.C. law schools; however, some students from out-of-state schools who hope to practice in this state may also participate. Through the establishment of a mentoring relationship between law students and N.C. lawyers and judges, new attorneys enter the practice of law with a better understanding of ethics, professionalism and the general realities of the noble profession they have chosen. Access the link below for more from co-chairs Kelly Jones and Ken Harris, including a link to the attorney volunteer application form.
