Annual Mentorship Program

A year-long program pairing junior attorneys and law students with experienced mentors.

Every year, SABA GB’s Mentorship Committee runs a year-long program open to all attorneys. Junior attorneys (1 to 5 years of experience) are eligible to apply as both a mentor to law students and a mentee seeking mentorship from a more senior attorney.

Throughout the year, SABA GB hosts mentorship and networking events - including speed networking, resume reviews, mock interviews, and career development panels - to provide guidance to law students and junior attorneys. The committee also encourages mentors and mentees to connect in informal settings.

Past participants have commented on their mentors’ positive influence in helping them navigate the market and career options.
