BALIF Mentorship
BALIF’s New Lawyers Committee is accepting applications for the Mentorship Program! BALIF’s incredibly successful mentorship program is back and we’re hoping to recruit eager law students, post-bar graduates, and lawyers of every experience level to receive mentorship from a wide array of legal backgrounds and life experiences. As any lawyer will tell you, mentoring is an integral part to any professional’s success in their career.
If you are interested in applying to be either a mentee or mentor (or both if you’re a practicing lawyer!), please follow the links to the appropriate application (all responses are confidential, and the entire application can be completed in 5 minutes). Applications will close in September, and pairings will be released at BALIF’s Annual Mentor/Mentee Happy Hour, which will take place in October. Please check your email and the BALIF newsletter for updates. If anyone has any questions, feel free to reach out to the New Lawyers and Law Students Co-Chairs at newlawyers@balif.org.
