Mentor Moments
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.
