Women’s Bar Association Mentorship Program officially kicks off year two
The Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association (BWBA) brought together a group of law students, new lawyers and more seasoned practitioners, including three judges, on the top floor of the Brooklyn Bar Association Wednesday night during an event whose purpose was to create fruitful mentor/mentee relationships.
The BWBA kicked off the second year of its mentorship program that night as part of an effort to attract new and younger members to the bar association. Wednesday night’s meeting drew a couple of dozen mentors and mentees, who got a chance to meet with each other and see who is compatible.
The six-month program, chaired by BWBA members Natoya McGhie, Carrie Anne Cavallo and Madeline Kirton, is open to “law school students and newly admitted attorneys (under five years)” who are seeking professional guidance from those with more experience practicing law.
