Mentoring

Serving as a mentor to recent graduates and current students is one of the most important and rewarding contributions you can make to the Trojan Family at USC Law. When you choose to mentor a young professional starting out in his or her career, you enter into a stimulating and mutually enriching partnership that benefits your mentee, the USC Law network and the entire legal community.

Mentor Lunch
Every year, law school graduates meet with our first year, visiting, and transfer students to share advice and encouragement with these budding young lawyers and to welcome them into the Trojan Family. We invite you to participate and contribute your time and experience. Learn more about the Mentor Lunch.
