James E. “Jay” Rollins Jr. of Schwartz Rollins pressed the board of the Georgia Chapter of the National Employment Lawyers Association to create a formal mentoring program a few years ago.

The program pairs seasoned employment attorneys one-on-one with less experienced attorneys in the field to explore topics such as prelitigation, starting a case, discovery, taking a deposition, trying a case and what to do if you have to file an appeal.
