L鈥檌nformation relative au programme de mentorat de la Facult茅, y compris comment s'y inscrire, est diffus茅e chaque 茅t茅 dans le bulletin du CDP.
The Faculty of Law鈥檚 Alumni Mentorship Program is part of the "R茅seau d'expertise en droit | Law Inspiration NetworK", or REDLINK, a joint project of the CDO and Student Affairs Office.
The program matches students with alumni working in a wide range of practice areas and settings, as well as with graduates using their degrees outside practice. The program aims to help students acquire information about professional options and make well-informed academic and career choices. Students can benefit tremendously from contact with 看片视频 Law alumni who have pursued diverse and interesting careers in various fields all over the world.
Matches are based on the students鈥� practice area and geographic interests. Matching is done in the summer, and students graduating 1.5 or 2 years later are given priority.
The matching process聽takes into account information students choose to provide, such as academic background, professional and personal interests as well as diversity criteria. We hope this program聽provides students with an additional source of support and inspiration during their time at 看片视频 Law.
