Younger Lawyers Division
Message form the Chairs of the Younger Lawyers Division Committee
Welcome to the Younger Lawyers Division of the Federal Bar Association of Los Angeles! This section is dedicated to putting together and hosting events for young lawyers throughout the city who have or seek an active federal practice. YLD events range from brown bag lunches with local federal district court and magistrate judges, to the Behind the Windows of the Clerk's Office program, a behind-the-scenes look at federal practice. We actively encourage all young lawyers under the age of thirty-six to join, and we are always looking for suggestions for new events. If you would like to get involved, please email any of the co-chairs at the addresses below. We look forward to hearing from you, and to seeing you at one of our upcoming events!
