The LSBA's statewide Transition Into Practice “TIP” Program, is offered to newly admitted LSBA attorneys. Mentees are paired with a Mentor for at least one year beginning on the date of pairing. The Committee on the Profession believes a successful mentoring relationship is extremely beneficial to new lawyers just starting out into the practice of law. 



Go to For Mentees

The TIP Program is available statewide to all newly admitted LSBA attorneys and experienced Mentors from every Parish are always needed. Mentors who successfully mentor a new admittee receive 6.0 hours of free CLE credit the first year, and 4.0 hours of CLE credit for subsequent pairings. The Bar Association and the Louisiana Supreme Court see this as an opportunity to exercise the highest level of professionalism.  


Go to For Mentors

The TIP Program has endeavored to supply Mentees and Mentors with a wealth of material to support them in their time with the program.

The supporting materials to assist Mentors and Mentees during their time in the TIP Program can be found here.  



Go to TIP Materials

TIP matches one mentor with one mentee, giving newly admitted attorneys access to veteran attorneys to assist with their Transition Into the Practice of Law. During the program, mentees will learn practical skills, as well as professionalism, and what is expected of them as a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association. Mentors will share their wisdom and experience they have gained through their career. Mentees will receive knowledge, advice, and hands on experience they do not get in school.

The TIP Program wants to make sure LSBA attorneys have an abundance of resources available to them in regards to mentoring as whole.
