Young Lawyers

YOUNG LAWYERS SECTION is a Special Section of the Essex County Bar Foundation who are also members of the ECBA. They are members of the bar, age 35 years or younger or are those who have been admitted to the practice of law for less than eight years. Vibrant and energetic, the YLS embodies the spirit of the Association and fulfills the charitable and educational mandate of the Foundation, serving the needs of junior and senior members alike.

Seminars

Happy Hours

YLS puts on approximately 5 - 10 seminars per year which are designed to introduce young lawyers to specific areas such as federal and municipal court practice. They are also designed to teach young lawyers how to handle personal finances, tax issues, ethics pitfalls and basic survival skills both in and out of the courthouse.	The YLS meets monthly at a bar/restaurant in Essex County. All young lawyers are welcome and ECBA Officers and Trustees are invited to attend. The events provide a forum for new attorneys to meet and network and often times new programs are developed to either enhance professional development or give back to the community.
