Facilitated by the NJIPLA Young Lawyers Committee, the NJIPLA Mentorship Program connects members at different stages of their careers who work in or are interested in intellectual property law.
Attorneys with approximately 7+ years of experience may serve as mentors. Mentees are typically first-year attorneys, including law firm associates, in-house counsel, and law clerks. The program also welcomes law students from the New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, and Delaware area.
Subject to the number of mentors and mentees who enroll, NJIPLA aims to match each mentee with one in-house attorney and one law firm attorney to provide exposure to diverse professional perspectives.
