Mentor Moments - Law Society of Alberta

The purpose of our mentorship programs is to improve the professionalism and success of Alberta lawyers. They engage experienced counsel to guide those with less experience to realize their career goals and achieve greater personal and professional balance in their lives.

Mentor Moments shares the stories and experiences of the mentors in our mentorship programs.

	A Mentor Moment with Robert G. Harvie, KC — “While discussing my mentee’s challenges, both legal and practical, it allowed me to reflect upon those same challenges that I continue to have.”
	A Mentor Moment with Stacy Petriuk — “I have really enjoyed getting to know the people I have mentored. I have learned a lot from them, including how to be a better mentor.”
	A Mentor Moment with Richard Tchir — “Mentoring new lawyers and younger counsel revives your spirit and invigorates you. It reminds you why you chose your path and what it means to see that justice is done.”
	A Mentor Moment with Kelly Dawson — “It is a personally enriching and rewarding experience that is well worth the modest and flexible time commitment it involves.”
