Why should my law firm or legal organization encourage its new lawyers to participate in Lawyer to Lawyer Mentoring?
A successful mentoring program benefits a law firm or legal organization in several ways. A strong commitment to mentoring aids recruitment, increases retention, raises productivity, and builds and transmits an organization’s culture. Mentoring can build loyalty, help overcome workplace alienation, and allow an organization to more readily adapt to change. In addition to benefits intrinsic to mentoring, new lawyers who participate in Lawyer to Lawyer Mentoring receive all of their new lawyer training credit (provided they have also taken a three hour required course in professionalism, law office management, and client fund management) and mentors receive 12 hours of CLE credit, at no cost to your organization.
