Overview

Mission

To improve the skills, professionalism and ethics of the bench and bar.

What it reported doing in 2024

Mentoring: the mahon inn's membership is divided into twelve different groups that are comprised of judges and attorneys with varying levels of experience (e.g. Associates have less than four years, and law students are included as well). Masters - judges or attorneys with more than fifteen years experience - preside over the small groups. The groups meet outside of the regular membership meetings to discuss various professional and mentoring items. The mahon inn also offers separate mentoring programs to new attorney members, including tours of local courthouses.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 70% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
