LAW STUDENT MENTOR PROGRAM
The Massachusetts Black Lawyers Association is ready to embark on a
successful year of our Mentorship Program! An important goal of the MBLA
is to increase the number of successful black lawyers in Massachusetts.
MBLA attorney mentors offer guidance, support and mentoring to students
which will provide soon to be young black lawyers a smooth transition into
their legal careers.
The MBLA will match a law student with an attorney based on the areas of
practice and the law student's areas of interest.
Law Students:
You will have the opportunity to gain an attorney mentor who can answer
your questions about thriving in law school, provide advice about preparing
for graduation and taking the bar exam, help you explore career options,
assist you to write resumes and prepare for interviews or share with you his
or her experience in the actual practice of law as a black lawyer.
Attorneys:
You will have the opportunity to be the mentor you wish you had when you
were in law school and help to enrich the black legal community.

KCC: KIDS, CITIZENSHIP AND COURT PROGRAM
(Federal Court)
KCC Program is a national award-winning program that offically started in 1989.
It is co-sponsored by the Just a Beginning Foundation (a national organization
representing all African American Judges), the Links, Inc and John Hancock.
Fifth grade children from the Boston Public Schools come to the Federal Court
throughout the year (approximately 700 students per year) to discuss justice
with United States District Court Judge Joyce Alexander and the U.S. Marshal's
Service.
Students are taught law and citizenship, encompassing civics and violence
prevention. Most of these children are children of color.
KCC has an official curriculum in the school system which was written for the
program by Judge Alexander. The curriculum was adopted and is a part of the
5th grade curriculum across the country.
If you are interested in volunteering in this program to either:
(1) Speak to children about what you do, etc; and/or
(2). Help prepare children for the Mock Trial
