Continuing Legal Education
We’re committed to helping our alumni become well-rounded in all aspects of law and professionalism. We do that through Continuing Legal Education (CLE) opportunities.
CLE opportunities allow Nebraska faculty and distinguished guests to share their efforts in addressing current legal issues through legal research and scholarship. These experiences are also a wonderful opportunity to connect with the Nebraska Law community of students, faculty and fellow alumni.
Attorney-Student Mentor Program
Mentoring serves as a bridge between the theory and the practice of law. Participants in this program create supportive attorney-student relationships, focus on professional and career goal-setting and developing a professional network for the student.
