Young Lawyers Section: Connections

An Update from YLS

In August, YLS held its first board meeting and discussed its goals for the year, which include promoting its members and strengthening connections within YLS and with the community.  We look forward to highlighting our members and their personal and professional achievements.  If you are an attorney under 40 years of age or have been practicing for less than 5 years, we would love to connect with you!  If you have questions about YLS or how to get involved, please reach out to any board member or our YLS email account, younglawyerssection@greensborobar.org. 

Fall Swearing-In Ceremony

Each year, the Young Lawyers Section sponsors a Fall Swearing-In Ceremony for the admission of newly licensed attorneys to the state and federal courts.  This year, the Young Lawyers Section is hosting its Fall Swearing-In Ceremony on Friday, November 1, 2024, at 3:00 p.m.  The ceremony will be held in the Board Chambers Room on the 2nd floor of the Old Guilford County Courthouse, at 301 W. Market St., Greensboro, NC 27401.

We welcome the support and attendance of GBA members at the swearing-in ceremony to support our newly licensed attorneys.  If you are a newly licensed attorney, or you know a newly licensed attorney that may want to participate, please email younglawyerssection@greensborobar.org for application materials.  Applications are due by October 25, 2024.

Greensboro Urban Ministries Service Opportunity

YLS invites its members to join us in cooking and serving a meal at Greensboro Urban Ministries Potter’s House Community Kitchen.  This service opportunity is tentatively planned for the evening of Monday, November 4, 2024.  Volunteers will be preparing and serving food for members of our community.  Greensboro Urban Ministries is located at 305 W.

YLS Member Spotlight: Timisha Henley, Board Member

Misha practices personal injury law at CR Legal Team.  Her favorite part of her job is being able to help a client that has been going through a difficult time.  She enjoys helping clients “navigate their personal injury claim from start to finish.”  Misha states that the best part “is coming to a favorable resolution on a case and I can just feel or see the look of relief on my client’s face when a case is resolved.”   

New YLS Email Address

YLS has a new email address, younglawyerssection@greensborobar.org. YLS is taking this moment to update its email list.  YLS is a free GBA section for attorneys of any age who have been practicing for 5 or less years, or attorneys 40 years of age or younger.  If you satisfy one or both of these criteria and would like to be included on emails about upcoming events, please email younglawyerssection@greensborobar.org.  We look forward to connecting with all YLS eligible members of GBA!
