PILI is currently seeking Advisors for our Advising Program this summer, which matches current Law Student Interns and Graduate Fellows with members of PILI’s Alumni Network or Board of Directors.

PILI’s Advising Program is flexible to allow individual Advisors to fit the program into their own schedule. Advisors are expected to communicate with their Advisee and meet at least twice throughout the summer. Advisors often serve as an introduction to the Illinois legal community providing career guidance, networking inroads and valuable insights. PILI will provide additional support and tips to help make the relationship as beneficial as possible. We will also plan to host several opportunities throughout the summer to help the Advisor and Advisee to connect.

"It was extremely valuable to me when I was an intern, so I'm happy to pay it forward. I'm glad it exists and I'm glad PILI instructs mentees on how to initiate, be professional, etc."
