Message from the President

On behalf of the Young Lawyers Section (YLS) of the Alabama State Bar and its Executive Committee, I welcome you to the Alabama State Bar and I congratulate you on becoming a member of the Alabama State Bar. I also thank the many existing young lawyer members of the Alabama State Bar.

Who Is Involved in the YLS?

The YLS is comprised of all lawyers who are 36 years of age and under or who have been admitted to the bar for 3 years or less. There are no dues and attorneys who are members of the Alabama Bar and meet the age or admission requirements are automatically members.

Please visit the YLS website and familiarize yourself with the various opportunities and programs the YLS offers. The YLS website is located at www.alabamayls.org. By clicking on the “Get Involved” tab, you can view a listing and description of the various sub-committees of the YLS.

Iron Bowl and Sandestin CLE Events
The YLS will be hosting its Iron Bowl CLE on November 18, 2011 in Birmingham, Alabama. Go ahead and register for your chance to gain some CLE hours and win a pair of tickets to the Iron Bowl. In addition, mark your calendar for and plan to attend the YLS CLE Seminar held in Sandestin, Florida on May 17 – 20, 2012.
Volunteering in YLS Sub-committees

Volunteering in one of the various sub-committees or participating in the events offered by the YLS provide an excellent way to serve your community and network with other members of the bar. I have gained much from my involvement in the YLS and the opportunities that the section has provided me. I encourage you to become involved and participate in the YLS.

I look forward to serving as your President this year and if you have any questions or would like to become involved, please feel free to contact me.
