Mentorship & The Next Generation

We believe that the strength of our legal community relies on the guidance we provide to those following in our footsteps.

We are proud to highlight Edward Baker’s commitment to Southwestern Law School where On March 16, 2026, Ed returned to serve on an alumni panel focused on Civil Pre-Trial Litigation Practice. As a Senior Attorney and a member of the Class of 2016, Ed dedicated his time to sharing the “real world” of law with current students.

His presentation focused on the critical transition from student to attorney-advocate.

It focused on:

• Sharing proven strategies for the Bar Exam to help graduates cross the finish line.
• Providing practical “practice pointers” to help future new associates navigate their first years in litigation.
• Addressing the complex professional responsibility issues that aren’t always found in a textbook—ensuring the next generation leads with integrity.

At Parker Shaffie, LLP, we value the importance of mentoring the next generation of future lawyers and remain dedicated to fostering a legal community rooted in integrity, preparation, and the success of those who follow in our footsteps.
