About the program
The Cardozo Society strengthens relationships between Jewish attorneys or judges and Jewish law students and legal professionals in their first five years of practice in Washington State by providing opportunities for them to connect.
This year we are also providing an enhanced mentorship program. The Federation's Cardozo Society Fellowship is a unique opportunity for a diverse group of law students and attorneys in their first five years of practice to engage with and learn from an accomplished lawyer or judge. The initiative aims to help build connections among colleagues that will provide important and relevant opportunities for personal and professional career growth.
Our four-month fellowship (January - May 14, 2020) is designed to fit in with a busy schedule and law practice. Fellows will be meet with their mentors at least three times over the period, and attend two program sessions with the cohort, which will be geared towards deepening leadership and presentation skills.
Through participation, law students and young attorneys will:
- Cultivate a meaningful relationship with a mentor who is a seasoned legal professional, exploring and sharing resources and knowledge.
- Share peer-to-peer perspectives and experiences to enhance their legal practice.
- Access invitation-only networking events provided by their mentor.
- Explore and engage with Jewish values through exposure to Jewish thought-leadership.
