Sixty-Minute Mentoring is Looking for You!
|
We all know that mentoring is critical to our profession. The best advice we often receive is from attorneys who take a few minutes to share their time and experience with us and answer our questions.
We hope that you are willing to spend 60 minutes - at a time, date, and location that you select - to spend time with 1 or 2 new attorneys or law students. You will be able to share information that only a practicing attorney can offer.
For more information, please contact Kathy Lawrence if you are interested in being a mentor or if you are an attorney or law student and interested in being mentored. If you can spare 60 minutes, you can be a mentor!
