"Practicing law requires mentorship. Yes, mentorship can save a young attorney from embarrassing themselves in a room full of more seasoned peers, but mentorship also emphasizes the holistic development of the mentee, encompassing not only professional and academic growth but personal and emotional support," says Office of Career and Professional Development Associate Director Jordan Crosby Lee ('09, MA '13, JD '16). "My mentors showed me how to take accountability when I made a mistake. My mentors gave me confidence. My mentors provided security because I knew if I encountered something I did not know how to handle, they would guide me." Learn more about Professor Lee's experience with mentorship and why having face-to-face conversations with our mentors and mentees is still important. Page 28 of The Jurist. Link in bio.
