LAW STUDENT OUTREACH

GAYLAW's Law Student Outreach Committee works with local law school GLBT organizations to develop educational programs and networking opportunities.

Mentor-Mentee Program:

GAYLAW sponsors a Mentor-Mentee Program, pairing law students, law graduates and junior lawyers with experienced attorneys. The Program provides GLBT students with a professional resource for educational and career advice, and to learn the challenges and rewards of practicing law in the Nation's capital. If you are a law student, law graduate or junior lawyer and wish to be paired with a mentor, complete and fax in our form.

For practitioners, the Program affords an opportunity to give back to the community by sharing their professional experience with law students and graduates and mentoring the next generation of attorneys. This Program usually kicks-off with a Fall networking social that allows the students, graduates and practitioners to socialize, and the mentors and mentees to be formally introduced. If you would like to serve as a Mentor, complete and fax in our form. Click here.

Summer Job Talk:

GAYLAW sponsors an annual Summer Job Talk for those law students working in D.C. during summer break. Topics include interviewing as a GLBT student and working in D.C. as a GLBT attorney. The Job Talk features a panel of attorneys from a wide range within the profession, including large firm partners, solo and small firm practitioners, policy lawyers from NGOs and nonprofits and lawyers working in the government, such as Department of Justice attorneys and military Judge Advocate Generals.
