X-WR-CALDESC:Close your eyes.  Imagine going into a courthouse for the very
  first time.  Where do you park?  Which courtroom do you enter?  What will
  the judge be like in court?  Did you file the proper paperwork?  Did you 
 file your documents within the required timeframe?  Why did the judge not 
 rule in your favor?  What did you do in the case that was effective?  What
  could you have done better?  How do you explain what happened in court to
  your client?  Open your eyes.  As you considered the answers to these que
 stions\, you probably reflected on your own personal experiences from your
  first year of practicing law.  What was it like for you right out of law 
 school?\n\nA mentor is a person with valuable knowledge\, expertise\, or e
 xperience\, who believes that it is useful to share that knowledge to assi
 st others.  With respect to the questions above\, do you think that the su
 pport of a mentor would have helped you through those challenges?  What le
 ssons can you learn by experiencing these early years completely independe
 ntly\, in comparison to having the support of a mentor to offer sound and 
 candid feedback to help you succeed?  This Roundtable will feature members
  of the Connecticut legal community who will share their views and stories
  regarding the mentor/mentee relationship in the legal practice.  Please j
 oin us for a lively and informative conversation that will explore the ben
 efits of mentoring in our profession\, and may even demonstrate how these 
 relationships could be essential to our profession’s survival.  \n\nPANELI
