Become a UT Law Mentor

One of the Career Services Office most valuable and utilized career resources is the UT Law Mentor Directory. The Mentor Directory lists UT Law alumni and friends who are available to advise students on issues such as practice trends, legal markets in specific geographic areas, and other career related topics. Many alumni wonder how they can give back to the Law School. Becoming a mentor is an excellent way to do so.

As a Mentor, all you have to do is agree to make your contact information available to students who may want to ask you career-related questions. In doing this, you will not only help UT Law students and recent graduates in their professional development, you will also stay connected to the Law School, its students, and alumni.

Recent graduates and alumni of UT Law who have a Student/Alumni UT Law Symplicity account will need to create an additional account, using UT Law Symplicity's Employer interface, to become a mentor. Please sign-up online using the following step-by-step instructions:
