A large part of every mentoring relationship, whether formal or informal, involves experiencing things together and talking about lawyering. CAMP has compiled a Compendium of Mentoring Activities and Discussion Topics to provide mentors and mentees some ideas to build their relationship. The activities and topics are divided into the following areas: 1) The Practice of Law – An Overview; 2) Ethics in Practice; 3) Professionalism and Civility; 4) Diversity and Inclusion; and 5) Wellness and Work/Life Balance.
