Enrich your conference experience with a conference mentor/mentee

Whether you’re new to the practice area, a seasoned pro, or looking for a peer to bounce ideas with, consider conference mentoring. This is a first for UT Law CLE, and we’re keeping it casual and unstructured – no scheduled activities or commitments. Simply chat during a break, or set aside time for more substantive conversation.

Make your choice (mentor, mentee or peer) on the registration form, and we’ll match you to a fellow attendee!
