Exit For Mentors

Transition Into Practice Program: For Mentors

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. With the help of the TIP Handbook and resources, as well as their own career experience, mentors will teach mentees practical experience, professionalism, and what is expected of them as a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association. Mentors will also get the chance to share their wisdom, give back to their profession, and to guide new lawyers in the right direction.

Mentor Qualifications:

  • Must have been admitted into the practice of law for a period of at least ten years;
  • Must have no record of suspension or disbarment from practice;
  • Must have a professional liability insurance policy with minimum limits of $100,000 per occurrence and $300,000 in the aggregate; and
  • Must be of good moral character, willing to voluntarily participate in the program, and commit throughout its term to the obligations and duties of being a mentor.

The professional liability insurance policy requirement is not applicable to mentors who are employed as in-house attorneys, or employed by a governmental unit, or “not for profit” entity. These are the only rules or requirements.
