Law Student Mentoring Programme:

It was an exciting evening on Wednesday, 29 March 2023 when our young law students finally had the opportunity to meet their new mentors as part of the Young Lawyers Committee's student mentoring programme launch.

With 74 pairings this year and a record number of students applying to the programme, the evening kicked off with great energy. Both our mentors and mentees were very fortunate to glean the wisdom of both the YLC Chair, Demi Swain, and the 2022 Emerging Young Lawyer of the Year, Monica Vu. Demi and Monica elaborated on what the mentoring program offers students and urged students to make the most of the opportunity by having access to pick a young lawyer’s brain. Following formal presentation, mentors and mentees had the chance to talk for the very first time and get that connection rolling over some drinks and light canapés.

A huge thank you to legalsuper being the principal sponsors of the 2023 programme and thank you to the College of Law for hosting the event, making it possible for our mentors and mentees to connect before the year gets moving in earnest.
