To enhance the experience of junior attorneys in the legal profession by providing the tools and resources necessary for their professional and personal development through mentoring services, customized CLE programs and active bar association membership.
Program Description
Each mentee is assigned a mentor who will serve as a sounding board for ideas, coach and strategist for personal development and a resource on how to navigate the legal profession in New York.
