In
the current legal market it’s encouraging when a law school works to actively
find jobs for their graduates.
Such
is the case with the Earle I Mack School of Law at Drexel University. Their alumni association has just launched a
new program where law school alumni will mentor recent graduates as they
prepare for their bar exam and help them find their place after law
school.
The
best part is that this isn’t even an idea that will take place at some distant
point in the future, rather the Earle I Mack School of Law is already matching students
with alumni mentors who have taken bar exams in the same states or are in
similar areas of legal practice. So far
one third of the class of 2012 has already been matched.
Jackie
Lowthert, 2009 graduate and co-chair of the association’s Membership,
Social and Networking Committee also says that there are a series of events
before and after the July bar exam in order to offer support and encouragement
to recent graduates.
