Over 60% of SVUDL students plan on pursuing a career in the legal profession. The Legal Advisory Committee brings together leaders from the Silicon Valley legal community to help students realize their dreams of becoming successful lawyers. These attorneys carry out the critical work of recruiting mentors for the Legal Career Mentor program, hosting courtroom and firm visits for SVUDL students, and leveraging the power of their networks within the legal community to connect SVUDL students with internships. Together, SVUDL and the Legal Advisory Committee will make it possible for interested SVUDL students to diversify the legal profession in the next generation.
