Be A Mentor, You Plebes!

Even if it's just tutoring everyone's favorite newb on the finer points of our practice, it's a good thing to be a mentor to somebody else.

So as we reach the end of National Mentoring Month, take a moment to reflect on who you are helping to become a better attorney -- an associate, an intern, a clerk. My own experience is I became a better attorney, a more idealized version of myself, by helping others in my practice. And I am sure the attorney who mentored me for many years felt the same.

You can read some tributes to mentors from famous people such as Ray Charles, Bill Clinton and Oprah here.

BTW, thank you "Whiplash" Willie Gingrich.

Actually, I also learned a lot from Oliver Wendell Douglas and Lionel Hutz--and boy does that explain a lot.

In other news, Brits drink too much, teenagers learn from porn, and Alan Rolnick fondly remembers Premium Sales.

Try to say that three times fast!

Ahh, good times.
