Students passionate about justice and equality, as well as those considering a career in law, might wish to pursue a mentorship in law and criminal justice.  Mentorships in law and criminal justice can focus on issues involving law enforcement, our legal system, criminalistics, the courts, or corrections.  Specific topics students have explored include forensic science and criminal psychology.  Whether a student is curious about a particular legal issue or concerned about the incarceration system in our country, a mentorship in law and criminal justice will allow them to delve deeply into their area of interest while developing skills in research, writing, and analysis.  Past law and criminal justice projects have included op-ed pieces and the creation of educational modules.
