Mission Statement
The New York State
Bar Association’s Labor & Employment Law Section (“L&E”) has a long
history of mentoring lawyers new to the profession. In an
effort to institutionalize and expand these efforts, L&E has established a
Section-wide mentoring program for junior attorneys interested in a career in
the field of labor and employment law by introducing them to the Section and by
increasing their exposure to seasoned labor and employment lawyers in the
L&E Section.
The focus of the L&E
Section’s mentoring program is to nurture lawyers new to the profession by
matching junior lawyers with seasoned L&E practitioners who are also leaders
in the Section. Mentors have agreed to commit their time
and energies to coach and counsel mentees on Section membership and the practice
of law in our area. Among the goals of the program
are:
- To introduce the new lawyers to the leaders of New York’s labor
and employment law bar;
- To help promote collegiality among and between labor and
employment law practitioners in New York and to help bridge the generational
divide;
- To help introduce and integrate new lawyers more easily into
our Section and its activities ;
- To foster and develop the mentee’s practical skills and
professional judgment;
- To help promote diversity in the Section; and
- To continue and promote the highest ideals of our Section and
of the labor and employment law bar in New York.
