Mentorship Lunches

We connect law students and Guild lawyers for lunch (paid for by the lawyer), to give students a chance to meet one-on-one with an activist attorney working in a legal area of interest to the student. Contact the office at 617-227-7335 or nlgmass-director@igc.org to get a volunteer form for attorneys and a request form for students.
