What is the mentoring term?
The mentoring term refers to the time during which the new lawyer and mentor participates in Lawyer to Lawyer Mentoring. The mentoring term for new lawyers admitted in November 2009 will be from Feb. 1, 2010 through Dec. 31, 2010. The term for new lawyers admitted in May 2010 will be from Aug. 2, 2010 through June 30, 2011. The aim of the Commission on Professionalism is to create meaningful relationships between new and experienced lawyers so that they each want to continue the relationship beyond the mentoring term. Therefore, if both participants wish to continue their mentoring relationship beyond the mentoring term, they are encouraged to do so. However, such a decision on the part of the participants is outside the scope of the program and wholly within their discretion.
