Modernizing Mentoring: Maintaining Relationships and Meeting Change with Virtual Opportunities

Mentoring relationships are critical to the practice of law.

Mentors can provide context for decision-making through an experienced lens that newer attorneys lack. Mentors can also offer alternative perspectives and ideas on how to meet career challenges. Whether the mentor is a veteran of the courtroom, a Millennial plugged in to societal change or an attorney bringing knowledge of a previous career or industry, everyone has value. The trick today is how to build skills, offer advice and add value in a virtual environment without losing the personal connections that make mentoring rewarding for everyone involved.  

COURSE overview:

The course is presented in four main sections:

• Section I: The Meaning of Mentoring
• Section II: Impact of Society
• Section III: Lessons from the Pandemic
• Section IV: Challenges and Changes

Video presentations contain links to additional information on the Resources tab. Once you have gone through the videos, you'll complete a Knowledge Check and an evaluation. A certificate can then be issued for attorneys wishing to self-report for CLE credit (this program should be valid for 1 general CLE credit in most jurisdictions).
