Requirements
The required qualifications to be a Mentor are:
- Colorado attorney or judge, with an active license, in good standing, and engaged in the practice of law; or retired Colorado attorney or judge, who retired from the practice in good standing.
- Admitted to the practice law in any jurisdiction for not less than five years.
- No suspensions or disbarments from the practice of law from any jurisdiction, nor surrender of license to practice law for purpose of disposing of pending disciplinary proceeding in any jurisdiction.
- No sanction by a governing authority in the five years preceding application as a Mentor.
Appointment as a Mentor is valid for 5 years, after which time you may re-apply. During your term, you must notify the Executive Director of any change affecting the above qualifications.
The mentoring relationship is a professional relationship. It does not contemplate and is not intended to create a formal association or attorney-client relationship between the mentee and the mentor. Similarly, for mentors and mentees not of the same law firm or office, the mentoring relationship does not create an attorney-client relationship between the mentor and the mentee’s clients; mentees must ultimately exercise their own independent professional judgment on behalf of their clients.
To obtain 9 CLE credits (including 2 ethics credits), Mentors and Mentees must successfully complete this program, which requires a commitment of approximately 16 to 20 hours per year (1-2 hours per month).
