The CBA’s Lawyer-to-Lawyer mentoring program matches experienced attorneys (practicing 5 or more years) with attorneys within their first 5 years of practice for a year-long mentoring program. The CBA is currently seeking mentors for the program. You must be a CBA member to participate.
The program creates opportunities for experienced lawyers to guide new lawyers in developing the practical skills and judgment needed to practice in a highly competent manner and to instill the ethical and professional values that characterize excellent lawyers.
Participating mentors receive 6 hours of Illinois professional responsibility MCLE credit upon program completion. Attendance at an in-person orientation session (held January 29, 2025, at 12 p.m., at the CBA Building) and 8 subsequent meetings between the mentoring pair is required to complete the program and receive MCLE credit. Click here to view the complete program guidelines.
Mentoring pairs may hold any or all of their 8 required meetings over the one-year term through video conference as an alternative to in-person (which remains highly encouraged).
