指导资源

D.C. 酒吧 执业管理谘询服务 seeks to encourage professional mentoring relationships between experienced and less–experienced lawyers to facilitate the transfer of valuable information and insight into the practice of law.

而法律理论和应用可以在法学院学习, 法律职业的许多方面必须在工作场所学习, 无论是私人执业, 政府服务, 或者公司惯例. The mentor is encouraged to share experiences and provide counsel to less–senior colleagues on such topics as professionalism, 法律实务管理,专业发展, 从而成为一个值得信赖的顾问, 顾问, 和老师. 从个人关系来看, 以信任和保密为特征的, 经验不足的靠谱的滚球平台, 或“门徒”, 能了解靠谱的滚球平台对他们的真正期望吗, 合作伙伴, 法官, 和对手系统中经验丰富的对手.

There are two types of mentoring programs within a professional setting—natural and planned. Planned mentoring occurs within a structured environment or program in which voluntary participants are screened and matched through a formal application process. 与此形成鲜明对比的是, natural mentoring occurs through friendship and collegiality—more of a self-selection process.

PMSC几年前创建了一个试点的“计划指导”项目, 但结果强烈表明，靠谱的滚球平台协会成员更喜欢自然的指导方式. 因此, 而不是扮演媒人的角色, the PMSC has designed this web page to assist lawyers in the establishment of their own fulfilling mentor relationships.

在过去，导师通常会选择门生来帮助他们在公司晋升. 今天, 门生往往更独立, seeking out a mentor or mentors whom they believe can be a successful match for their future. 反过来, the mentor also benefits from the insight and understanding from the protégé–more of a reciprocal mentoring experience.

不匹配往往造就最好的匹配. Conventional wisdom once held that you and your mentor should have much in common to make for a successful relationship. 然而, the emerging thought in the new world of mentoring is to have a mentor with different skills and background to provide a refreshing and challenging learning experience rather than a confirmation of your existing knowledge.
