    This discussion group addresses the challenges (and joys) of mentoring students, which is one of the most important parts of our work as law professors. How can we be better mentors to all students, especially those from traditionally underrepresented groups? How can we create a successful, sustainable mentorship for first-generation professionals and minority students? How can we get schools to acknowledge the invisible work we do, particularly when the colleagues who find them on the front lines of mentoring are often legal writing faculty, professors who are persons of color, women, etc.? How can we protect ourselves and our careers as we try to balance mentoring with scholarship, teaching, and other service?
