Ready.Set.Practice. Mentee Application Form

Section I. Basic Information

Section II. Career Involvement

Section III. Program Needs/Desires

Please carefully read the following requirements to be a mentee and the limitations of the Ready.Set.Practice. Mentoring Program:

1. The following may participate as Mentees:
   1. Wisconsin licensed, active lawyers, who are living and practicing in the state of Wisconsin.
   2. If a lawyer serves as a judicial law clerk immediately following licensure, the lawyer may participate in the Ready.Set.Practice. Mentoring Program within two years of completing the clerkship(s). A lawyer serving as a judicial law clerk is not precluded from participating in a mentoring program while a judicial law clerk, although due to ethical restrictions, the law clerk’s mentor must be a judge on the same court as the law clerk’s judge.
2. The Ready.Set.Practice. Mentor Program is a professional relationship. It does not contemplate and is not intended to create a formal association or attorney-client or work product relationship between the Mentee and the Mentor. Similarly, for Mentors and Mentees not of the same law firms or office, the Mentor program 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.
3. Mentee agrees to participate in a training session to be familiar with all of the ethical implications involved with participating in the Ready.Set.Practice. Mentor Program. The training session will be available by webcast for convenience. Details will be provided to Mentee upon selection into the program.

By submitting this form I certify that I have read the foregoing requirements and limitations. I agree to and understand the terms, and I qualify to be a Mentee.
