What are the annual MCLE Scholar-Mentor Awards?
Many moments in a lawyer’s professional life affirm his or her earliest calling to the profession of law-providing the highest caliber of legal services to one’s clients; generously sharing practical expertise through continuing legal education; mentoring a new lawyer-all of these activities are evidence of a lawyer’s great calling greatly pursued. MCLE created the Scholar-Mentor Awards to honor four MCLE volunteers each year who have “raised the bar” through their outstanding contributions to legal education, and to acknowledge their exceptional service to the legal profession through their demonstration of the following qualities and characteristics: excellence in teaching or writing for MCLE programs and publications; creativity in the suggestion of new and innovative CLE programs and publications; long-term service to MCLE as a dedicated and enthusiastic volunteer; and recognized standing in the Massachusetts legal community.
