Many of your organizations have participated in Mentor Jet and know how rewarding it is. For those new to the program, Mentor Jet is a program of the National Association of Women Judges. It pairs law students and mentors for five-to-six minute conversations. The law students and mentors then move on to additional pairings. The goal is to introduce students to a number of potential contacts in the legal community over the course of an hour. After the one-on-one conversations, participants socialize with food and drinks. 

OTHER ORGANIZATIONS

To empower leadership, advance the professional development of its membership, and promote the administration of justice in the Black community and the community at large.
