Professor Oseid’s essay examines the importance of mentoring relationships in the legal profession and emphasizes how mentoring helps a lawyer learn how to be both a successful professional and a successful person. The essay considers the history of legal education with its resulting, but perhaps unintended, change in mentoring from a daily occurrence to a practically nonexistent event in the life of many prospective lawyers. The essay also outlines the well-documented benefits of professional mentoring and describes the current renaissance in legal mentoring. Professor Oseid ultimately argues in her essay that the effort to find an effective mentor is worth at least the investment of time that lawyers spend in finding employment.
