This is the place for ideas, comments, questions, inquiries concerning whether the role of mentoring as a form of continuing legal education in Tennessee. What should the role of bar associations and other organizations be? Should law firm mentoring programs earn credit for those who participate in them. Georgia has an approach that allows for "group mentoring" for unemployed beginning attorneys or those who are not sure if they want to practice law. Should Tennessee create something similar. If so, who would offer that service?

Several months ago, the Nashville Bar Association formed a Task Force to explore the possibility of developing a Mentor Program. The NBA is very interested in participating in any discussions about what constitutes a successful mentoring program and what standards, if any, should apply.

http://www.jaxdailyrecord.com/showstory.php?Story_id=528997 is an article that just came in today that speaks to the value of mentoring. As I was reading it, I thought how useful for the law students who will stay in Jacksonville. But who will help them learn to practice in their home towns? I think it is great that the local bar associations offer mentoring but I am also concerned about the young lawyers (and transplants) who don't live in an area that is so well organized.
