The 'Leaders in Advocacy Stand Together' Mentors Program
This Program is Sponsored by The Pre-Law Society(student org.), Career Services, Internship Office and Alumni Office of Brooklyn College

The L.A.S.T. Mentors Program will enable the law society's alumni and law professionals to aide existing members in the areas of academia, leadership, law school and career choices. You and your mentee will be matched by the executives of the organization based on common and diverse interests. The time that you will need to spend with your mentee is mutally agreed amongst you and your protege`.

LEGAL ADVISORY SERVICE

This service began in May of 1998. The Legal Advisory Service enables pre-law students to gain hands-on experience at understanding client/counselor confidentiality, communicating effectively and learning the basics about a specific area of law.

The pre-law students are trained, in length, by our Coordinator for two weeks to practice their "people" skills and the legal areas through simulated sessions.

The specialty areas of this service are: Civil/Small Claims Court procedures, Landlord/Tenant disputes, Formulating a Contract and Sexual Harassment Complaints.

This service will take place from our office located at Brooklyn College (0700 James Hall) or you can email us at for online assistance.
