Embra Mentors Community Guidelines

Last updated: September 12, 2026 Version: 2026-09-12

1. What these Guidelines are

Embra Mentors is a place where law students get career mentorship from practicing attorneys who volunteer their time. These Community Guidelines describe, in plain language, what that means in practice: what everyone here agrees to, what is not allowed, what tools you have if something goes wrong, and what Embra can and cannot do about it.

These Guidelines are part of the Terms of Service and are incorporated into them by reference. Agreeing to the Terms means agreeing to these Guidelines. The Terms remain the binding agreement between you and Embra Law LLC. If anything in these Guidelines appears to conflict with the Terms, the Terms control.

Capitalized terms used in these Guidelines but not defined here have the meaning given to them in the Terms.

These Guidelines are not legal advice, and nothing in them creates an attorney-client relationship.

2. Who Embra Mentors is for

Everyone on Embra Mentors is an adult in one of two roles.

Students are enrolled in, or admitted to, an accredited law program.

Mentors hold an active license to practice law in at least one U.S. state or territory and are in good standing with the bar association or associations that admitted them.

You must be at least 18 years old to use Embra Mentors. The full eligibility requirements are in Section 3 of the Terms of Service.

3. The ground rules

Five things are expected of everyone here.

Treat each other with respect. Harassment, threats, intimidation, and discrimination have no place on Embra Mentors. This applies to every surface of the service, including profiles, mentorship requests, and messages.

Be who you say you are. Do not impersonate anyone, including attorneys you are not, law students you are not, and members of the Embra team. Do not represent yourself as licensed in a jurisdiction where you are not licensed.

Keep it about mentorship. Conversations here are for career guidance. Embra Mentors is not a place to advertise, to recruit clients, or to send unsolicited promotional messages.

Mentorship is volunteer and unpaid. Nobody should ask you for payment, and no payment changes hands through Embra Mentors.

Respect each other's privacy. Do not share another person's personal information without their consent, and do not republish what someone shares with you in a conversation.

4. What mentorship is, and what it is not

Mentors share career experience. Practice areas, clerkships, study strategies, interviews, what the day-to-day work actually looks like. That is what this service is for, and it is where a mentor's time is most useful.

Mentorship on Embra Mentors is not legal advice. Mentors are not acting as your attorney, the conversation does not create an attorney-client relationship, and nothing said here should be relied on for a legal matter. A short reminder of this appears in every conversation.

If you have a personal legal matter, seek independent counsel. Mentors should decline to advise on a student's personal legal matter and should say why. Students should not ask a mentor to take one on.

Asking a mentor to represent you, or offering to represent a student, is not allowed under Section 5 of the Terms of Service.

5. Mentorship is volunteer and unpaid

In the current version of Embra Mentors, all mentorship is volunteer and unpaid. Mentors do not charge students, Embra does not pay mentors, and students do not pay Embra.

That means the following are not allowed:

If anyone asks you for money on Embra Mentors, report it. Section 8 below explains how.

Embra may introduce a paid feature in a future version of the service. If that happens, Embra will give notice and updated Terms before anyone is asked to pay or be paid.

6. Privacy and what you share

Every mentor on Embra Mentors is verified by hand before being listed, and good habits still matter.

Share personal details at your own pace. There is no rush, and a good mentor will not push. Keeping a conversation inside Embra Mentors while you are getting to know someone keeps the reporting and safety tools close at hand.

What Embra collects and how it is handled is governed by the Privacy Policy.

7. What is not allowed

The following are prohibited by Section 5 of the Terms of Service, and doing any of them can cost you your account.

8. The tools you have

You do not have to wait for Embra to act. Four tools are available to you directly, and the help center carries step-by-step instructions for each.

Report. You can report a profile, a single message, or a whole conversation. You choose a reason: harassment, inappropriate content, spam, impersonation, a safety concern, or something else. You can add details in your own words. Reports go to the Embra team.

Block. Blocking ends contact with someone. Any mentorship request between the two of you is cancelled, any active conversation between you ends, and the two of you stop appearing to each other across the app. You can see and undo your blocks in Settings. Undoing a block does not bring back a cancelled request or a closed conversation, and it does not restore the messages. A block ends messaging; it does not by itself end a mentorship.

Mute. Muting is quieter than blocking. You stop being notified by that person, and nothing else changes. The relationship continues, they remain visible to you, and they are never told they have been muted.

End conversation. If you would simply rather step away, you can close a conversation. No explanation is needed and none is asked for.

9. What happens when you report

A person reads every report. Reports land in the Embra team's review queue, and the team works through them promptly, in the order they arrive. A member of the team reads the reason you chose and anything you added, and decides what needs to happen.

What can follow. Depending on what the review finds, the outcome can be removing a message, placing a mentor's account under review so they do not appear in Discover and cannot receive new requests, suspending an account, removing an account entirely, or closing the report with no action because the review did not find a problem under the Terms.

Who reported stays private. The person you report is never shown your report, your name, or the fact that a report was filed at all.

You will not get a status update. There is no way to follow a report's progress in the app, and Embra does not send updates about a review, to either person. You may notice the result yourself, such as a message replaced by a notice, or a mentor no longer appearing in Discover.

Each report is reviewed once. If the behavior continues, or something new happens, file a fresh report. It works the same way every time.

10. What Embra does not do

Being clear about this matters more than sounding reassuring.

Embra does not pre-screen or monitor conversations. Nobody at Embra reads messages as they are sent. Reporting is how Embra finds out that something is wrong, which is why using it matters.

Embra does not verify a mentor's credentials continuously. Before a mentor is listed as verified, Embra reviews their application and confirms their bar admission against the public directory of the state bar they claim. Embra does not run background checks, verify employment, verify law school attendance, or monitor licensing status on an ongoing basis. Verified status can be paused or revoked at any time based on public bar records or credible reports.

Embra does not supervise mentorship or guarantee its outcome. Embra connects people. What happens in a mentorship is between the two of them.

Section 7 of the Terms of Service sets out Embra's role and its limits in full.

11. What can happen to an account

Breaking these Guidelines can lead to action on an account. Depending on what happened and how serious it is, that can mean a removed message, a mentor's account placed under review, a suspension that prevents signing in, or removal of the account entirely.

Embra may suspend or terminate an account under Section 8 of the Terms of Service, with or without notice, where Embra reasonably determines that a user has violated the Terms or the law, poses a safety, security, or operational risk, or has provided false information, including about bar credentials.

Embra does not publish the reason for an action, to either person involved.

12. If we got it wrong

Moderation is done by people, and people get things wrong.

A removed message is not destroyed, so a removal can be reversed if the review was mistaken.

If you believe an action on your account or your content was a mistake, write to support@myembra.com and say what happened. A member of the team will look at it again.

13. Changes to these Guidelines

Embra may update these Guidelines. When a material change is made, the "Last updated" date at the top of this document is revised.

Because these Guidelines are incorporated into the Terms of Service, a material change to them is a change to the Terms, and Section 13 of the Terms governs how that is announced and when it takes effect.
