It’s a time of transition for the Bar’s Special Committee on Mentoring New Lawyers. With the new Bar year approaching, the committee held its final meeting at Annual Convention June 22 ahead of becoming the Standing Committee on Mentoring in July.

The group has worked tirelessly over the past year to create a mentoring program that matches lawyers with less than three years of experience and who work in firms of three or fewer lawyers with mentors who have three or more years of experience.

The committee has been a key priority of immediate past President Gary Lesser. Reflecting on the creation of the committee, Lesser said he’s pleased with all they have accomplished.
