Most law students and new lawyers know it’s critical to have a mentor, but how can they find one? Lawyers are busy, the economy is bad, and it’s easy to feel adrift. In this and future columns, I’m going to share what new and aspiring lawyers need to know, without a bunch of fluff that doesn’t add value.
What qualifies me to write as a mentor? During three decades of practice, I’ve won and lost a lot of cases and been on both sides of the desk, as an employee and a boss. I see a lot of résumés as managing partner of my firm’s Dallas office. I’m a member of the American Inns of Court, a group that devotes time to mentoring. I spend a fair amount of time with 3Ls and new lawyers seeking counsel on their careers.
