The Young Lawyer Forum serves as a center of gravity for young lawyers to transition into the work of the Section while providing social and leadership opportunities for young lawyers. The Forum's goal is to engage young lawyers in the substantive work of the Section and its Committees. Every Section lawyer member who is under the age of 40, or has been in practice less than 10 years, will automatically be a member of the Forum. The Forum provides a soft landing for young lawyers in the Section's committees and assists young lawyers in finding a home in active Section work through the Section's committees.
