One of valuable ways of gaining insight into the actual practice of law, professional conduct, and networking with attorneys in practice is through a mentor who is an experienced attorney.
Three mentoring programs are available for St. Thomas students:

1) Lawyers At Work Mentoring Program, sponsored by St. Thomas School of Law, and open to all second-and third-year law students;
2) Minority Mentoring Program, sponsored by John W. Kozyak, Esq., and open to all African-American, Pan-African, and Asian students; and
3) CABA Mentoring Program, sponsored by the Cuban-American Bar Association and open to all Hispanic law students.

Since 2000, St. Thomas University School of Law’s Lawyers At Work Mentoring Program has been matching second-and third-year law students with experienced attorneys, allowing students to gain insight into the actual practice of law. The mentoring relationship lasts for one academic year. Applications are accepted at the start of the academic year and are available either online or in hard copy from mentoring program coordinator Maggie Kreuzberger in the Office of Career Services.

The external Minority Mentoring Program and the Cuban America Bar Association accept applications during early fall. These applications are available on-campus through the Black Law Students Association (BLSA) and the Cuban American Bar Association (CABA) student chapter, respectively.
