Law Students

Mentorship Program

The application period is closed for the 2019-2020 Mentorship Program. Watch this space for more details to come in August 2020 for the 2020-2021 program.

Each school year, OCAABA’s Pipeline Committee offers a formal Mentorship Program for OCAABA’s law student members. Student participants accepted into the Program will be matched up with an experienced OCAABA attorney or judicial member who will provide them with general guidance on the legal profession, including tips on developing lawyering skills and choosing a career. The Pipeline Committee will assist in helping mentors and mentees get to know each other better by providing both formal opportunities for mentors and mentees to socialize and network, as well as informal suggestions for engaging in meaningful dialogues and discussions.

If you have any questions about the Mentorship Program, please contact John Fujii (jfujii@silverwrightlaw.com), Larry Valdez (larrytvaldez@gmail.com), or Sabrina Ly (sabrinamly@gmail.com), Co-Chairs of the Pipeline Committee.
