Resources for Mentors and Mentees

Pursuant to recommendations from the 2019 Report of the SJC Steering Committee on Lawyer Well-Being, we convened a Mentorship Working Group to pilot a variety of mentorship programs across the Commonwealth, including those administered by the SJC Standing Committee on Lawyer Well-Being and through existing programs with bar associations and other entities, and evaluate their effectiveness. Upon evaluation of the pilot programs, the Working Group recommended development of a Database of Mentorship Programs across Massachusetts as well as the SJC Attorney Mentoring Program administered by the SJC Standing Committee.

Working Group Members included: Christina M. Turgeon, Law Office of Christina M. Turgeon; Gabriel Cheong, Affinity Law Group; Michael Ready, Ready, Kieran & McNally; Wm. Travaun Bailey, Law Office of William Travaun Bailey; Arlene Bernstein, Esq. (ret.); Kate Dulit, Massachusetts Trial Court; Michelle N. O’Brien, Pierce Atwood; Robert Harris, Hinckley Allen; Xena Robinson, Liberty Mutual Insurance
