Context

This is a mentoring programme run by the Law Society of Ireland (via Law Society Skillnet) for its solicitor members, intended to support women who want to advance to senior levels in the legal profession.

Activities

Female solicitor members can apply to be mentored by a panel of senior solicitors (women and men) from the public and private sectors; mentoring pairs typically meet monthly for about an hour over an eight-month cycle, covering career progression, skill development and networking.

Conclusions

The page describes the programme as 'highly successful' in the promoter's own words, but provides no outcome data (e.g. participant numbers, promotion rates) to substantiate that characterization.
