Are you a newly admitted attorney in Colorado looking for an experienced attorney to provide you mentoring? Or are you an experienced attorney or judge who knows of a newly admitted attorney in need on mentoring?
Colorado Supreme Court Chief Justice Nancy Rice has a solution for you. In her April 7, 2015 open letter to newly admitted attorneys, Chief Justice Rice writes in part:
Congratulations on your
admission and welcome to the Colorado legal community. As you begin your legal
career, I highly encourage you to seek out experienced attorney mentors to help
your professional growth. The relationships you establish with experienced
attorneys will undoubtedly nurture your career, while simultaneously promoting
collegiality within the profession.
The Colorado Attorney
Mentoring Program (“CAMP”) can help connect you with qualified experienced
attorney mentors. Established by the Colorado Supreme Court in 2013, Camp
matches new attorneys with local mentors, and provides mentors and mentees with
training and other resources to help their relationships flourish. CAMP
partners with local bar associations, Inns of Court's, and other local legal
organizations across the state to help new lawyers, like you, develop the
skills needed to succeed in this profession.
As Chief Justice Rice mentions, CAMP co-sponsors its programs with the various local bars and other legal organizations in most of Colorado’s 22 Judicial Districts throughout the state. For more information, including a complete list of CAMP mentoring programs, please go to the CAMP Website at www.coloradomentoring.org, click on the “Mentors/Mentees” tab, and go to “Current CAMP Programs.” You can download CAMP registration forms at the website or you may contact me at j.baker@csc.state.co.us or CAMP Administrative Assistant Lauren Eisenbach at l.eisenbach@jd.state.co.us.
If you are an experienced attorney and wish to be added to the Colorado Supreme Court Registry of Pre-Approved Mentors at www.coloradomentoring.org, please contact us. All of us at CAMP look forward to working with you.
