You MUST read this section in full!
Please complete this form if you are looking for a legal aid mentor - this scheme is not open to anybody seeking a career outside of legal aid, such as corporate law -
should you not clearly be seeking to work in legal aid, your request will not be processed and you will not receive a response.We will
not process matches from those who are not seeking to practice in England and Wales (this does not include international students, but does include, for example, people seeking to qualify as attorneys in the US).
This form enables you to tell us about where you are at the moment, and what you would like to gain from a YLAL mentor.
Your answers should provide us with the information we need to match you with a mentor, but if we need to ask anything further, we will email you. The information you provide below is what we send to our mentors, you should therefor ensure your responses are clear and concise.
Please note that YLAL mentors specialise in areas of law funded by legal aid, or traditionally funded by legal aid. If you are looking for a more general career or CV mentor, not relating to legal aid work, then we recommend that you contact your university careers service, who will be better placed to help you.
If you have any questions, please contact
ylalmentoring@gmail.com.
Please complete this form carefully, your responses will make up the newsletter that is sent out to match mentees with mentors - a poorly drafted, unclear, or limited response will lessen your chances of a match.
