We are thrilled to share that The WLAO Mentorship Program is back!
We are now accepting mentor and mentee applications for our Fall 2026 cohort.
Whether you’re looking to share your experience or seeking guidance as you navigate your legal career, we invite you to be part of this meaningful professional community. Thoughtful mentor-mentee matching will take place this fall.
Since 1919, WLAO has been dedicated to empowering women in the legal profession through mentorship, professional development, and community. Our Mentorship Program connects experienced legal professionals with law students, licensing candidates, and early-career lawyers to foster meaningful relationships that support career growth, confidence, and professional development.
The 2026–2027 Mentorship Program is expected to launch this fall.
Please note:
- Mentors are not required to be WLAO members, although membership is encouraged.
- Participation as a mentee is a benefit of WLAO membership.
- If you are not currently a member and are interested to apply as a mentee, you will be asked to obtain or renew your membership prior to being matched with a mentor. You can renew or join as a WLAO member here.
- Mentorship matches are anticipated to last approximately 6-8 months, with meeting frequency determined by each mentor-mentee pair.
Thank you and we look forward to welcoming you to our Mentorship Program!
