Civility Mentorship Program
The San Francisco Chapter of ABOTA is introducing this new program. Experienced ABOTA members can act as Mentors if you are a lawyer who is encountering a problem with civility in dealing with another lawyer. The Mentors will not provide legal or ethical advice, but will discuss potential solutions and approaches to uncivil behavior. The goal is to help lawyers resolve civility disputes quickly and inexpensively. ABOTA wants to be part of the solution!
