<strong>FACL</strong> Mentorship<br />
Committee<br />
One of the goals of <strong>FACL</strong> is to promote the<br />
professional development of its members.<br />
As such, <strong>FACL</strong> has established a Mentoring<br />
<strong>Program</strong>, targeted towards law students<br />
currently attending law school, those currently<br />
in their articling year, and recent calls to the<br />
Bar. The goal of this program is to provide<br />
an opportunity for law students and recent calls<br />
to talk to mentors to consider potential career<br />
paths and to encourage lawyers and jurists to<br />
interact with members of the legal community<br />
by acting as mentors and role models.<br />
Mentees can benefit from opportunities to<br />
develop and learn about practice areas of<br />
interest, and mentors will be able to develop<br />
leadership and communication skills, while<br />
participating in shared learning with their<br />
mentee. The Mentoring <strong>Program</strong> also provides<br />
<strong>FACL</strong> mentors with an opportunity to make a<br />
positive impact on a new generation of lawyers<br />
and to help their respective communities by<br />
promoting better representation in the legal<br />
profession.<br />
<strong>FACL</strong> Mentorship Committee<br />
The Mentorship Committee had a very<br />
successful re-launch of its <strong>Program</strong>, earlier this<br />
year in January. The Committee would like to<br />
continue this tradition, and is looking forward to<br />
organizing another successful mentorship event<br />
in January, 2013.<br />
As the <strong>FACL</strong> Mentorship <strong>Program</strong> continues<br />
to grow, we will focus on reaching out to other<br />
members of the legal community. Specifically,<br />
the Committee would like to help recruit foreign<br />
trained lawyers and provide mentoring to these<br />
individuals. Hopefully, the <strong>FACL</strong> Mentorship<br />
<strong>Program</strong> can assist them in their re-licensing<br />
and accreditation process.<br />
The formal mentoring period will run from<br />
February to October. However, a mentoring<br />
pair may agree to continue with their mentoring<br />
relationship after the formal nine month period<br />
has expired.<br />
