Volunteer Opportunities at the Fowler School of Law
Get Involved
Our alumni are an important part of the Chapman Family and are encouraged to stay connected with the Fowler School of Law after graduation. Whether you would like to attend an alumni event, hire students, or donate, choose a way to get involved that means the most to you!
Career Outreach
Mock Interview Program
The Fowler School of Law hosts a mock interview program twice a year to help students
hone their job interview skills by simulating the interview experience at either the
volunteer’s office or through a virtual platform. At the conclusion of the interview,
students receive vital feedback on communication skills, appearance, body language
and other factors. If you would like to volunteer to be a mock interviewer, please
reach out to the Career Services Office at lawcareerservices@chapman.edu.
Informational Interviews
We often receive requests from students for the names of alumni to whom they can reach out for informational interviews to learn more about specific practice areas and career paths. If you would like to make yourself available for these occasional inquiries from students, please reach out to the Career Services Office at lawcareerservices@chapman.edu.
Hire Chapman
If you are looking for a student or graduate to fill a hiring need, our Career Services Office is happy to assist you.
- For immediate hiring of our students and alumni as law clerks, interns, externs (for school credit), attorneys, etc., post to our Symplicity online job board.

Competitions Teams
Competitive advocacy competitions offer Chapman students incredible opportunities
to learn, first-hand, from highly experienced jurists. Our alumni and faculty – especially
those who have participated in competition teams themselves – provide exceptional
coaching, judging and facilitating opportunities and resources that keep our teams
performing at the highest level, in regional and national contests.
If you are able, please consider assisting our competition teams with coaching and
judging for both our in-house and away competitions by contacting the Competitions
Program Director, Professor John Bishop: bishop@chapman.edu
Student Outreach
Admissions
Fowler School of Law alumni are encouraged to participate in our effort to recruit highly qualified students. The strong endorsement of a graduate can play a critical role in a student deciding to attend the Fowler School of Law. You can assist the Admissions Office by attending Admissions events or talking to prospective students.
Panelist
Alumni are encouraged to serve as panelists for student organization events designed to educate students in particular areas of law or various career paths. Students value learning from alumni and hearing their different perspectives.
Competitions
Alumni can provide law students with opportunities to hone their pretrial, trial and appellate skills in our Student Advocacy Program. As judges, alumni can play a key role in training law students as future advocates. This can be an entertaining way to give back your time while also supporting critical skill development for law students.
First Generation Scholars Mentor Program
The First Generation Scholars Program is for all law students who are the first in their families to earn a college degree. It is designed to enhance academic success, professional development, and personal growth. Through the mentor program, upper-division students are mentored by first-generation alumni.
Contact Student Affairs for more information or to express your interest in participating in one of the above volunteer opportunities.
Alumni Outreach
Alumni Advisory Board
The Law School Alumni Board seeks to build a lifelong relationship between alumni and The Fowler School of Law. Through its events and programs, the Law Alumni Board promotes professional, social and networking opportunities for alumni, helps raise funds to support critical needs and assists in disseminating information to the alumni community.
Fundraising
Invest yourself in the critical role of fundraising for the Fowler School of Law. Through your network of personal and professional contacts, you may be aware of others who will want to associate themselves with the winning spirit of Fowler Law. You can select a particular area of interest, such as the need for scholarships; you can focus your efforts on a clinic or program; or you can lend your support to the Amicus Fund, which provides the unrestricted dollars that allow Fowler School of Law to address its most pressing needs.
Alumni Receptions & Events
Bring together Fowler Law alumni by hosting/sponsoring a reception or event for alumni. We are always looking for firms, companies or individuals to host events. This is a great way to get involved with alumni in your area and publicize the name of your firm or company.
