Young Lawyers eMentoring in Miami-manual available

[Frisco1232 at AOL.COM]

The DCBA YLS eMentoring program matches sixty young lawyers each with a 
Miami Senior High School legal magnet student (of the same gender) for 
weekly email communication throughout the school year.  The participants 
also enjoy  personal contact at group events and on field trips. The Miami 
Senior High Legal Magnet Students and their mentor attorneys have 
developed some very special relationships.  One student has said "[m]y 
Mentor is always encouraging me to apply for scholarships. I needed some 
to be on my case like my mentor is. She is so helpful when it comes to 
college information and law school. My mentor has become my very 
resourceful friend. She is a great mentor!" Similarly, a satisfied mentor 
described her experience as follows: "I have a great Mentee. He is eager 
to learn about the law and is always interested in discussing current 
events, as well as my current cases. I have been very satisfied with my 
experience so far." 

I hope to see more busy young professionals impact high school education 
across the U.S.  Our program has been duplicated in various cities by 
lawyers and others.  For a copy of our manual, please contact Justin
