Goal of the program
The principal goal of the mentoring program is to provide a group of experienced, respected, ethical members of the RCBA to serve as mentors to RCBA member protégés who would like to have the guidance, encouragement, and support of professional colleagues.

Mentors are not technical resource persons, although they can help protégés find sources of technical information. Mentors seem to serve best in giving advice and support on ethical questions, issues of civility and professionalism, and the challenges of balancing demanding professional duties with family and personal life. Mentors also help protégés find sources of networking in their areas of practice.

Meetings
Mentors and protégés are expected to meet in person at least once per quarter. It is the responsibility of the protégé to schedule those meetings. In addition, mentors and protégés are encouraged to communicate on a more regular basis by telephone or email.

All mentors and protégés will also meet as a group once each quarter. CLE credit is available for some of the meetings.

Meeting information will be available shortly

All meetings will be held at the Minnesota Judicial Center in room G-31.
