The Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) offers opportunities to first-year law students at University of Memphis, below:<\/p>\n
\n
Launched in 2011, our Success in Law School Mentoring Program<\/b> has enabled thousands of diverse 1Ls to receive attentive, personal mentoring from attorneys at the most prestigious law firms and corporate legal departments in America.<\/p>\n
\n
First-year Mentees are typically matched with local LCLD-affiliated attorneys, although some may opt for a virtual relationship with a Mentor in another city. Students participate in one-on-one and <\/s>group mentoring activities.<\/p>\n
\n
Mentees can register now at this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Launched in 2012, our <\/span>1L Scholar<\/b>s Program<\/b><\/a> <\/b>strengthens the legal pipeline by encouraging LCLD Members to invest in opportunities for first-year law students to work side-by-side with attorneys from LCLD Member organizations and build their professional skills.<\/p>\n Once hired for their summer internship the 1Ls have the opportunity to participate in the 1L Scholars Virtual Experience<\/b><\/a>, which is a professional development program with a focus on panel discussions, networking and building relationship skills. Students can apply to the LCLD job board starting December 2<\/b>.<\/p>\n \n Attached is a flyer here<\/a> for the Mentoring Program and <\/span>here<\/a> for the 1L Scholars Program with the relevant details.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) offers opportunities to first-year law students at University of Memphis, below: Launched in 2011,...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-career-services"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33354","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/32"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33354"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33354\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33356,"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33354\/revisions\/33356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33354"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
