Young Lawyers Section

The Young Lawyers Section (YLS) is pleased to welcome Section members and visitors.  As one of the largest sections of the New York State Bar Association, the Young Lawyers Section (YLS) comprises more than 3,200 members, including law students and newly-admitted attorneys, practicing in a variety of substantive areas, throughout the state, across the country, and around the world.

The Young Lawyers Section serves as a bridge to professional life and to the New York State Bar Association. The Section’s mission is to effectively meet the unique and changing needs of young lawyers by: providing a means through which they may discuss and exchange ideas and cooperate, encourage, and assist each other concerning issues common to them; offering opportunities to enhance their professional competence, skills, and ethical development; providing opportunities for career and leadership development, mentoring, and networking; and encouraging their interest and participation in the YLS, the New York State Bar Association, the legal profession, and their communities.
