Mentoring is from the Greek word meaning steadfast or enduring and is defined as a sustained relationship, often in a career–oriented setting, between an experienced and trusted person who gives advice to another less–experienced person.

Through continued involvement, the mentor offers support, guidance, and assistance as the protégé (or mentee) faces new professional challenges, goes through a difficult experience, or works to remedy existing problems.

Within the legal profession this means a voluntary, mutually beneficial relationship of professional growth, career development, and personal fulfillment, which benefits other people beyond the direct relationship. "Other people" includes clients, the judicial system, the legal community, law partners, family members, and the community as a whole.
