Bar Buddies Mentoring Program

The “ Bar Buddies ” Program is designed to help attorneys who practice in the Palm Beaches connect and serve as a sounding board for each other . In particular , the goal of the Bar Buddies Program is to provide a way to obtain advice , ideas , suggestions or general information from fellow attorneys , with an emphasis on practicing with professionalism and civility . The Bar Buddies Program seeks to connect local attorneys in a manner that takes into account links between attorneys that reach beyond their law practice . To that end , an applicant will be matched with one attorney “ Bar Buddy ” based on multiple factors , including law school attended , current geographic location , hometown , and interests . Attorneys are strongly encouraged to sign up for this informal program to speak with attorneys both within and beyond their existing networks and practice areas .
