"The knowledge of the law is like a deep well, out of which each man draweth according to the strength of his understanding."
                      --Sir Edward Coke, Lord Chief Justice of England (1552-1634)

Welcome to the MentorCenter

The ISBA MentorCenter is an Internet-based program designed to connect experienced ISBA lawyers with any member attorney—but especially new or young attorneys—who are seeking assistance with substantive law questions or balancing the personal and professional demands of practice.

How It Works
Qualified mentors sign up and may be accessed by practice area or location, with preferred contact information included. New members (mentees) seeking assistance may select a mentor by practice area or location and make the first contact.

Types of Interaction
This individually-initiated contact from mentees to potential mentors might involve a single issue, or it might involve an ongoing, formal, mentoring relationship. The parameters of that relationship are determined by the preferences of both mentor and mentee.
