Welcome to the Young Lawyers Division Subportal!
The Young Lawyers Division is open to all Academy members who are under 35 and/or have been in practice 10 years or less. We invite you to peruse these pages to learn more about our Division's activities.

About the Division
The Academy’s Young Lawyers Division is made up of almost 800 attorneys who are either under 35 or in their first ten years of practice. The Division is an excellent source of support for new attorneys, and provides a statewide network of colleagues on which new attorneys can rely for information and referrals. The YLD sponsors an annual CLE, "You’ve Passed the Bar: Now What?," which provides 2 days of practical skills education for new attorneys at a fantastic price.
