Attorney & Law Student Mentoring Events

Christian mentoring is the method Jesus and his apostles used to train the next generation of Christian leaders (Paul and Timothy and so on).  The Christian Legal Society knows the importance of mentoring for Christian attorneys and law students, both facing a society and academic world largely hostile to their faith.  We are excited to offer materials and any support necessary for your chapter to begin thinking about instituting a mentoring program today.

The cities/chapters that have local law schools are great places for local Christian attorneys and law students to take the mentoring step.  We believe holding at least two mentoring meetings during the academic year offer an invaluable chance for students and attorneys to learn from each other in a mutually beneficial setting.  It is our desire that each of our student chapters have this same opportunity.

Our model is both the Denver CLS Chapter and the DC Metro CLS Chapter, which hold mentor meetings for attorneys and law students.  Recent mentor events included several speakers and gave local students and attorneys the opportunity to meet, network and learn about mentoring.  The ultimate goal of each event is to pair CLS attorneys with LSM students in mentor-mentee relationships in order to foster spiritual guidance, prayer and encouragement. 

If you or your chapter are interested in hosting your own event you may want to review the linked materials.  They include tips for mentors, sample event announcements, student/attorney questionnaires and supplementary articles.  If you would like to get in touch with your local CLS attorney chapter please contact our Membership Director, David Nammo at (703) 642-1070 ext. 3300 or dnammo@clsnet.org.  Additionally, should you encounter problems or further questions in establishing your own annual local event please don’t hesitate to contact our national office at the above number.
