Students, lawyers speed mentor

In April in Orlando, students from Boone High School’s Law Magnet Program spent a morning being “speed mentored.”

Law students from Florida A&M University College of Law and lawyers from the American Bar Association’s Business Law Section and the Foundation volunteered to mentor the students, answering questions about law school and being a lawyer.

After hearing about a similar event facilitated by the Foundation at Miami Dade College in 2017 with the ABA Section of International Law, the ABA Business Law Section asked the Foundation to organize this event. Nearly 40 students participated.
