Please check back with us in the summer to inquire about signing up for our Law School Network in Fall of 2008.

The Law School Network partners Boston-area second and third year law students with SLJ panel attorneys in semester or year-long mentoring relationships. The program aims to improve the quality of representation available to indigent clients, by providing attorneys with assistance from dedicated and motivated law school students. In turn, students benefit form having the opportunity to learn how to prepare a case for trial. Students attend attorney-client meetings, participate in the client interview process, interview witnesses, conduct legal research, draft memos, and prepare cross-examination and jury instructions.

The SLJ attorneys who participate in the program do so voluntarily and expect their students to handle cases with a high degree of professionalism. All students who apply to the program should do so with the understanding that if accepted, they will be expected to work in a responsible, energetic and committed manner. At the conclusion of the semester, students will be asked to fill out performance evaluations assessing both their own work and that of their assigned lawyer.

To apply to the Law School Network, please submit a completed application, a current resume, an official transcript and a letter of interest to SLJ at the address provided below.
