Brian Potts Mentioned in The American Lawyer—A Viral LinkedIn Post Births a New Legal Mentoring Organization

Brian Potts was mentioned in The American Lawyer article, "A Viral LinkedIn Post Births a New Legal Mentoring Organization," regarding his viral rejection letter LinkedIn post and his a nonprofit organization, Legal Mentor Network.

"Last year, Perkins Coie partner Brian Potts shared a rejection letter he got from his firm dated Oct. 17, 2002."

"The post also led to a flood of questions, and Brian took the time to answer as many as he could, personally taking on several people as mentees.

But that soon became unwieldy. So Brian turned to friends and colleagues for help, building to what is now called the Legal Mentor Network-a nonprofit organization that has already grown to include roughly 250 mentors and 1,000 mentees."
