In addition to presenting a program, the pupillage groups provide Inn members an opportunity to become better acquainted with other lawyers practicing in our legal community and with members of the bench. The pupillage groups are the principal component of the Inn’s mentoring activities. Their diverse membership is intended to build an inter-generational relationship that encourages frank and personal discussion of matters of practice, ethics, civility, and all other aspects of the practice of law. The most experienced members of the group are encouraged to pass on the best of the practice to the less experienced members. Accordingly, Masters are encouraged to provide their Associate colleagues with opportunities to observe them in court, in depositions, or in the office. Masters are also expected to schedule and participate in social gatherings of their pupillage group.
