FACE OF JUSTICE
The State Bar of Michigan’s Face of Justice program connects young people with experienced legal professionals to answer questions, jumpstart networking, and demystify the route to becoming an attorney. From in-person presentations to virtual mentoring events, Face of Justice programs can be designed to accommodate student groups of all ages and sizes.
Modeled after programs developed by the National Association of Women Judges, Face of Justice is an integral part of the State Bar of Michigan’s ongoing work to build and support pathways for students into the legal profession. As part of Face of Justice, students meet virtually with multiple volunteer attorney mentors in our "speed networking" events. Interested in having Face of Justice at your school?
