    • ACS Oregon Mentorship Program

    The ACS Oregon Lawyer Chapter and the ACS student chapters at the University of Oregon School of Law, Willamette University College of Law and the Lewis & Clark Law School are proud to invite you to participate in the ACS Oregon Student/Lawyer Mentorship Program for the 2008-2009 academic year.

    Since 2001, ACS has grown exponentially from a small campus organization to a national network of progressive scholars, judges, practitioners, advocates, public officials and law students. ACS and its members strive to promote the vitality of the U.S. Constitution and the fundamental values it expresses: individual rights and liberties, genuine equality, access to justice, democracy and the rule of law. Mentorship is a vital tool in achieving our mission because it offers a means by which more senior ACS supporters can provide career and professional guidance to more junior members of the community.

    To this end, we have developed a student/lawyer mentorship program to pair new and experienced lawyers from various career paths with law students. The program works as follows:

    • An Oregon Lawyer Chapter member is paired with a member of an Oregon law Student Chapter. To the extent possible, mentors and mentees are matched based on common interests and current or desired area of practice.

    • Mentors and mentees should meet in person at least twice per semester. ACS Oregon hosts one networking event each semester, which we strongly encourage all mentors and mentees to attend. Other opportunities to meet include coffee, lunch, after-work drinks, job shadowing and other ACS and career development events.

    • Mentors generally help their mentees network and find employment. Mentoring is extremely rewarding and a great way to encourage and guide upcoming lawyers or learn from established attorneys. Often, mentor-mentee relationships turn into friendships and professional partnerships.

    To participate in the program, please review the ACS Oregon Student/Lawyer Mentorship Program Description below and fill out the Online Mentor/Mentee Profile Form by clicking HERE. You may also download the Profile Form HERE, and email your profile and any questions to Oregon@ACSLaw.org.
