This year approximately 120 mentor matches were made through the UBC-CBA Mentorship Program. Participants included students in all three years of law school and the mentoring lawyers practised in a variety of areas of law (law firms, the university, corporations, etc).

The UBC Mentorship Program and annual Mentor Reception are CBABC-sponsored and organized by Soraya Jamal, the CBABC Representative on the Articling Committee at UBC law school.

This year’s UBC Mentor Reception, held October 10 at Cecil Green House, was an important event for students. “The reception provides a comfortable environment for students, not only allowing them to break the ice and to develop a friendship with their own mentor, but also giving students the opportunity to meet other lawyers and students,” said Ms. Jamal.

During the reception, the CBABC Student Award was presented to Michael Feder, and Amy Davison received the Scotiabank Law School Achievement Award.
