Blackstone Mentoring Network

In 2024, both streams of the Blackstone Mentoring Program facilitate events to connect students and their mentors, provide opportunities for students to network with members of the profession, engage in charitable giving, and provoke an open conversation about the challenges facing legal practitioners.

Blackstone Mentoring Network

The Blackstone Mentoring Network is a re-launched initiative in 2024, and aims to build upon the success of WILMS in continuing to bridge the gap between students and the profession. All students, including members of WILMS, are invited to participate in the Blackstone Mentoring Network. In addition to facilitating closer relationships between all students and members of the profession, the Blackstone Mentoring Network will enable LGBTIQ+ and Indigenous students to connect with professionals who come from a similar background.
