The JD Mentoring Program

On 24 June 2025 Macquarie University celebrated 10 years of our Juris Doctor, with the launch of a new JD Mentoring Program.

The JD Mentoring Program is an alumni-led initiative designed to forge meaningful connections between current JD students and our extraordinary alumni.

With 25 mentor-mentee pairs already matched, the program offers a unique opportunity for our JD students to gain professional insight, practical guidance, and a deeper sense of belonging in the legal community.

"We're not just celebrating a decade of academic achievement. We're celebrating the tenacity of every student who dared to reimagine their future, and we're launching something that will help future students do the same." – Professor Lise Barry (Dean of Macquarie Law School)

The launch comes as Macquarie Law School celebrates its 50th anniversary as the Law School with Purpose, reflecting on the exceptional achievements of our alumni and investing in our students' success as  they forge their own paths towards impact and excellence.
