Who should initiate the first meeting between the new lawyer and the mentor?
The first meeting should be initiated by the new lawyer, who will be responsible for contacting the mentor to schedule the meeting. Either party may initiate meetings thereafter, although it is ultimately the responsibility of the new lawyer to ensure that the mentor is contacted to schedule meetings. During their first meeting, participants are encouraged to discuss their preferences regarding how they would like to schedule future meetings.
