FIU’s legal residency, LawBridge, was established in January of 2012 to give inexperienced lawyers the necessary tools to launch their solo practice. The program combines elements from a medical school residency and a business school entrepreneurial incubator in a two-year program, designed for recent graduates who have already passed the Florida Bar Examination. Today, LawBridge’s 10 participants benefit from the program’s career guidance, mentorship and continuing legal education, with the help and leadership of FIU’s College of Law faculty.
