Florida Bar President Gary Lesser said when he was sworn in almost a year ago that he wanted The Florida Bar to have “the best mentorship program in the country,” and Bar leaders have been working toward making that a reality since.

Mentorship is integral to any field, but especially to the development of the law profession and newer lawyers. This is why The Florida Bar has created Counsel to Counsel, a unique mentorship program facilitated virtually through the MentorcliQ software. With the rise of virtual legal practice and the increased isolation of legal work, the legal profession has witnessed many newer lawyers enter the field without the benefit of the mentoring relationships found in more traditional court and legal settings.
