Peer Mentoring Program – Mentors
In 2009 SULS (Sydney University Law Society) and CLSS (Chinese Law Student Society) both ran mentoring programs in first semester. You may have been involved as a mentor/mentee with one of these programs or perhaps you were involved with one of the other facilities. The Law Faculty has been working with all these groups to design a program for 2010.
