An Update from the Young Lawyers Section
On September 17, 2025, the YLS held its monthly executive board meeting to revisit its goals for the year and its commitment to providing various programming, service-related, and social opportunities for its members. In addition to fostering strong relationships with its current partners, like Hunter Elementary School and Greensboro Urban Ministry, the executive board discussed additional opportunities to connect and build relationships with other organizations in our community. Be on the lookout for more exciting information about how YLS is broadening its impact!
If you are an attorney under forty years of age or have been practicing for less than five 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 contact us at younglawyerssection@greensborobar.org.
YLS Welcomes New Bar Year at Abbey Taphouse
On September 25, 2025, the YLS kicked off the 2025–2026 bar year with its annual “Kick-Off” event at The Abbey Taphouse, bringing together newly admitted attorneys and fellow legal professionals for an evening of networking and community building. The event offered attendees a chance to connect, learn about upcoming YLS initiatives, and get involved in the year ahead. With strong attendance and a welcoming atmosphere, the kick-off was a great success and set the tone for an exciting year of programming and engagement.

What advice would you give to law students or new lawyers?
The best advice I would give to new lawyers is to make yourself available and open to new projects even if it may not be exactly what you want to practice. Do not be afraid to ask questions even if you think it is an easy question—if you never ask, you may never know.
What’s a fun or surprising fact people might not know about you?
A surprising fact people may not know about me is that I did software consulting for about five years after undergrad before I decided to go to law school. Stopping that career and going to law school full time was the best career decision I have made thus far.
