The KALA Clerkship Mentoring Program was an important initiative that connected me to a great mentor who has been through this Clerkship process. It was extremely valuable to be able to hear from my mentor’s experience, and receive personalised guidance and feedback on my own applications.

I particularly appreciated how candid and personable my mentor was throughout the Program, balancing constructive feedback with humour and unique insights that I otherwise would not have gained. But this Program was also special due to its emphasis on mentoring young Korean-Australians through what is known to be an extremely competitive process. The importance placed by my mentor on increasing diversity and Korean representation in the legal profession was personally very encouraging.

I would highly recommend this Program to any student applying for a Clerkship next year.
