L鈥檌nformation relative au programme de mentorat de la Facult茅, y compris comment s'y inscrire, est diffus茅e chaque 茅t茅 dans le bulletin du CDP.
The Faculty of Law鈥檚 Alumni Mentorship Program is part of the "R茅seau d'expertise en droit | Law Inspiration NetworK", or REDLINK, a joint project of the CDO and Student Affairs Office.
The program matches students with alumni working in a wide range of practice areas and settings, as well as with graduates using their degrees outside practice. The program aims to help students acquire information about professional options and make well-informed academic and career choices. Students can benefit tremendously from contact with 捆绑SM社区 Law alumni who have pursued diverse and interesting careers in various fields all over the world.
Matches are based on the students鈥� practice area and geographic interests. Matching is done in the summer, and students graduating 1.5 or 2 years later are given priority.
The matching process聽takes into account information students choose to provide, such as academic background, professional and personal interests as well as diversity criteria. We hope this program聽provides students with an additional source of support and inspiration during their time at 捆绑SM社区 Law.

Time Commitment
Out of respect for our alumni mentors, students are required to communicate with their mentor at least once per semester. This can be done via email, phone, video chat or in person, depending on the availabilities of both the mentor and student.
The program coordinator will let you know who your mentor is in September. Nous pr茅ciserons 脿 cette occasion certaines r猫gles de conduite et autres liens utiles. Le nom de l鈥櫭﹖udiant.e sera ensuite communiqu茅 au mentor, de m锚me que le profil du mentor 脿 l鈥櫭﹖udiant.e, avec ses coordonn茅es.
"I had the opportunity to meet my mentor while he was visiting Montreal for business from Berlin, Germany. Getting the opportunity to discuss his experience working in an international legal arena and how his degree at 捆绑SM社区 shaped it was of immeasurable value and I have only the mentorship program to thank for setting it up."鈥� Graham MacVannel, paired with Me Sven Deimann, Head of Legal, Codes & Standards, Authorisation, Management, Bombardier Transportation in Berlin聽
"It was honestly such a great initiative. My mentor is so amazing, she was so helpful and always quick to respond. I feel like I made a new friend."鈥� Anna Baghramyan, paired with Delia Cristea, Legal Counsel, Power Corporation of Canada
