Mentorship Sprint: High Impact Legal Careers (Limited Cohort)

This mentorship sprint is a focused, outcome-driven program to designed for year law students who want clarity and direction towards high-impact legal careers, including public policy, regulatory roles, entrepreneurship, and non-traditional but well-paying legal paths.

The program addresses a common gap in legal education: while law school teaches doctrine, it rarely explains how impactful legal careers are built in the real world, what skills actually matter, and how students should position themselves early.

Over three structured days, participants engage in group discussions, problem-based small group sessions, and an in-depth 1:1 mentorship conversation. The focus is not on lectures, but on career thinking, strategic decision-making, and personalised feedback based on each participant’s goals and background.

Each participant receives a CV review and a customised 6–12 month personal roadmap, tailored to policy, regulatory, startup, or impact-oriented career tracks. The mentorship emphasises practical decision-making, skill prioritisation, and realistic pathways; without generic advice or recycled templates.

The cohort is strictly limited to 8 participants to ensure depth, honesty, and individual attention. Active participation is required.

Key Outcomes

• Clear direction towards policy, regulatory, or entrepreneurship-focused legal careers

• Personalised 6–12 month career and skill-building roadmap

• Detailed CV review with actionable improvements

• Honest, individual mentorship and feedback

This is not a traditional course or webinar. It is a short, intensive mentorship sprint for law students who want to pursue careers that create impact and are financially viable, with clarity rather than confusion.
