Modern work culture has challenged women to balance both their professional and personal responsibilities. These challenges can be overcome through mentoring and serving as an ally for others. The reciprocal mentor-mentee relationship provides a channel for professional growth, well-being and for gaining invaluable insight beyond the subject-based skills that are critical to a lawyer’s success; it is the resilience inherited from pioneer peers that will ensure our efforts today leave a work legacy for those that follow.
