The Preceptor Program at Elon Law
One of Elon University School of Law's distinctions is its Preceptor Program, through which over 50 experienced lawyers from a broad range of practice settings mentor law students.
Preceptors observe first-year students in law classes, after which they meet with each student to provide feedback, facilitating a reflection process that helps students continuously improve in their preparation and development as aspiring lawyers.
Preceptors also welcome students to accompany them to observe trials, initial client interviews, depositions and mediations.
Preceptors are an integral part of the Elon Law experience. They visit with students through informal social events at the law school, make guest appearances as speakers and panelists, and welcome correspondence with students for whom they serve as mentors.
