Mentorat - Faculté de droit, Université de Montréal

What Mentorat - Faculté de droit, Université de Montréal does

Mentorat - Faculté de droit, Université de Montréal is the peer-mentoring and peer-tutoring service operated by AED Montréal (Association des Étudiant·e·s en Droit de l'Université de Montréal), a non-profit student association representing law students at the Université de Montréal Faculty of Law, headquartered at 3101 Chemin de la Tour, Montréal, Québec. The service is free and confidential for all enrolled Bachelor of Law students and delivers two core offerings: a Mentoring Service where selected upper-year law students — chosen through annual applications and interviews for academic excellence and helping skills — provide personalized guidance on study techniques, time management, note-taking, and exam preparation; and a Peer Tutoring Service (Tutorat par les pairs) that pairs students who have successfully completed specific courses with those seeking targeted support. Access is initiated via email ([email protected]) or dedicated Instagram and Facebook pages, with promotion channeled through the VP Academic Affairs and REPACS academic representatives embedded in each cohort.

The underlying operational model is human-mediated peer matching rather than a software platform: there is no proprietary technology stack, no AI/ML matching, no mobile application, and no API. The organization maintains a broader ecosystem of 34+ member committees, REPAC academic representatives, REPSO sociocultural representatives, a Social Club, the annual "Course au stage" internship event, and a 10-person elected Board of Directors plus a 12-person Conseil de vérification et de saine gouvernance (CVSG).

Revenue is non-commercial: the service is funded through student association membership fees, with no paid tiers, and partnerships with Gowling WLG, McCarthy Tétrault, RBC, DGC, APNQ, and GURU function as visibility/sponsorship relationships rather than revenue-generating customer contracts. The organization operates exclusively within the Université de Montréal Faculty of Law, with no disclosed international expansion.
