Mentoring
When you attend Texas Law, you aren't just joining a community of students. You are joining a huge and accomplished community of former students—25,000 strong— who will have your back as you enter the legal profession. Mentoring begins in the Spring of your 1L year when every student is carefully matched with a hand-picked alumnus working in the student's area of interest.
