AALASC’s Legal Referral & Mentoring Directory

We are still gathering information from our members to launch a directory of our lawyers, law students, members of the judiciary, and legal service providers, who are interested in mentorship opportunities or referring legal matters to each other. 

Please complete this short survey to join our Legal Referral & Mentoring Directory.  We understand that government lawyers and judicial officers cannot engage in legal referrals, but please feel free to complete the survey for mentorship purposes.     

Call For Law Student Representatives

Are you a local law student looking to get more involved with AALASC?  If so, we invite you to apply to be an AALASC Law Student Representative for the 2020-2021 term!
