The Center sponsors mentoring and judicial observation programs to promote professionalism among law students, and was a founding member of the National Legal Mentoring Consortium.
The Center and the SC Bar Young Lawyers Division co-sponsor a voluntary one-on-one mentoring program for 3L students. The program begins with a formal kick-off event in the fall, followed by informal meetings and periodic social and networking events throughout the year.
The Judicial Observation and Experience (JOE) Program places students for up to two weeks in the summer with members of South Carolina’s state judiciary and federal judges.
The Center was a founding member of the National Legal Mentoring Consortium and hosted the first NLMC conference in 2008. The consortium has since grown to 60 members and hosts a national conference every two years.
