  • Judges
  • Lawyers specializing in corporate law
  • Attorneys working in the government and non-profit fields
  • Lawyers with experience in criminal law and defense
  • Alumni who work for large law firms to those who started their own private practice

Alina Allen, the Mentor Program Coordinator in The Career Advancement Center, can help connect you with alumni who are willing to share their stories with students. Make an appointment by calling 847-735-6240 or stop by the center in Buchanan Hall 110.
