YLS Committees

Below you will find information about various subcommittees of the YLS. As the service arm of the Alabama State Bar, the Young Lawyers have strived over the years to serve both the community and our profession. We've done this through a variety of great programs and are starting even more this year.

Volunteering on a subcommittee will involve a commitment of your time. The return on this very precious investment will likely be your community's acknowledgement of your willingness to serve. Active committee participation provides a rewarding experience -- both personally and professionally. Plus, your service will provide you with an opportunity to network with other lawyers.
