I wanted to send a huge thank you to all of our ne I wanted to send a huge thank you to all of our new mentors who are now part of our mentor program with NCA Network! We are very excited to have your on board with us! View our amazing mentors by visiting: https://ncanetwork.com/meet-the-mentors/.

For those who do not know, I am the co-founder of a diversity and inclusion group NCA Network which helps foster a community for NCA students and alumni lawyers who went to law school outside of Canada, much like myself! The mentor program is perfect for internationally trained lawyers who are looking to help and guide  our mentees (usually law students or NCA students) by sharing their knowledge about the unique licensing process required for internationally trained law students. Most importantly, it helps bring a strong sense of community to those in the field of law.
