MentorCenter
Welcome to the MentorCenter
The ISBA proudly supports mentoring, acknowledging the value of having experienced lawyers provide professional guidance and share practical knowledge and skills with new lawyers during the critical transition from law student to legal practitioner.
In addition to supporting the Illinois Supreme Court’s Commission on Professionalism Lawyer-to-Lawyer Mentoring Program through training efforts, the ISBA offers a Commission-Approved Mentoring Program. In this year-long mentoring program, the ISBA uses the Commission developed structured curriculum which pairs experienced lawyers with new lawyers to provide guidance during the first year of practice. Upon successful completion of the curriculum, both the mentor and mentee will be eligible to receive 6 hours of PMCLE credit.
