Help with National Study: What the Best Law Mentors Do
IndyBar members are invited to help with a national study of the best law mentors in the country, the results of which will be published by Harvard University Press. The goal of the study is to identify attorney mentors who transform junior lawyers’ careers and even lives; study those mentors in depth; and understand why they are so effective.
Based on this research, the researchers will identify and describe a set of behaviors, attitudes, and habits that are characteristic of the best law mentors. The researchers’ hope is to produce a work that is a manual for attorneys who aspire to be transformative mentors, a benefit to legal employers for hiring and training mentors, and a tool more junior lawyers might use to find good mentors.
