BLS Alumni Invited to Help Shape the Next Generation of Lawyers Through Fall Volunteer Opportunities

For 125 years, Brooklyn Law School alumni have played an essential role in supporting one another through mentorship, professional connections, and a shared commitment to the legal profession. This fall, alumni have the opportunity to continue that proud tradition by sharing their experience and expertise with the next generation of BLS lawyers. 

Through a variety of volunteer and networking opportunities, alumni can connect with students at pivotal moments in their legal journeys—helping them explore practice areas, prepare for the recruiting process, and build the confidence and connections they need to succeed. 

"Brooklyn Law School alumni are one of our students’ greatest resources," said Heather Spielmaker, Associate Dean of Career & Professional Development. "When alumni share their experiences, offer guidance, and create opportunities for connection, they help students see what is possible and provide the support they need as they begin their legal careers."
