Our alumni have expressed their lifelong loyalty to the School of Law community, and they demonstrate it every day by directly investing their time, talents, expertise and resources to their alma mater.

The importance of this network cannot be overemphasized. Miami Law’s alumni community is a tremendous human resource for current students. They generously donate countless hours to help students perfect their job search skills and learn about practicing law.

Alumni in private firms, the judiciary, government service and nontraditional legal careers regularly visit campus to talk with students about their specific fields of practice, answer students’ questions and conduct mock interviews. They also host networking meetings with students in their cities and provide students employment opportunities. And, of course, they like to hire our students.

The Miami Law network gives back in myriad ways, and our mentoring programs provide an array of opportunities for students.

The UNetworking initiative provides students the opportunity to meet and speak one-on-one with attorneys and judges from the local Miami community. Several UNetworking events are scheduled throughout the year and many Miami Law students have landed internships and jobs from their attendance.

"Our networking is one of the most outstanding abilities on our campus...I was able to meet our general counsel through our Evening with Esquires UNetworking event."
