2026–27 Mentoring Scheme
“The LCF Mentoring Scheme has been a hugely valuable programme enabling me to be matched with a senior Christian lawyer in the same field of work for discussions, support, encouragement and career advice. Meeting up once a month online has been a real segment of my month I look forward to, and there’s so much I’ve taken from it. There’s no pressure, judgment – just friendly advice and a shared sense of fellowship and encouragement!”

Applications for this academic year have now closed. We are currently working to match mentors and mentees and will be in touch with applicants as soon as pairings are confirmed.
About the Mentoring Scheme
“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up” 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (ESV)
The LCF Mentoring Scheme connects Christian lawyers and law students at different stages of their journey, so that they can grow together. At its heart, mentoring is a simple but powerful relationship: a more experienced Christian lawyer walks alongside someone earlier in their journey, offering encouragement, perspective, and wisdom shaped by Christ and by experience.
This is not a formal programme of performance review or technical training. It is a relational space where Christians in law can support one another to live faithfully and wisely in their vocation.
Mentoring is for everyone in the LCF community—whatever stage you are at, there is both something to receive and something to offer.
Who is mentoring for?
LCF mentoring is open to:
- Law students exploring their future in the profession
- Trainee and newly qualified solicitors and barristers
- Experienced practitioners seeking guidance and support
For Mentees
Are you looking for encouragement, wisdom, and Christian fellowship as you navigate your legal journey?
Through the scheme, you will be paired with a more experienced Christian lawyer who can:
- Listen and offer perspective from experience
- Encourage you in your walk with Christ
- Support you as you think through study, work, and decisions
- Help you reflect on what it means to follow Jesus in law.
Applications for this academic year have now closed.
For Mentors

As a mentor, you will have the opportunity to:
- Encourage a law student or younger lawyer in their faith and profession
- Share wisdom from your own experience
- Help someone think faithfully about their work and calling
- Pray with and for your mentee
