An Update from the Young Lawyers Section
The Young Lawyers Section has had a productive and energizing start to the bar year. Our executive board gathered on October 15, 2025, for our monthly meeting to discuss ongoing initiatives, upcoming service opportunities, and ways we can continue to support one another and our community. With a strong slate of events already underway and more on the horizon, our members remain committed to making a meaningful impact both within the profession and beyond.
Welcoming the Next Generation of Attorneys
In October, the Young Lawyers Section proudly hosted our Swearing-In Ceremony, welcoming fourteen newly licensed attorneys to the practice of law in North Carolina—whether in state, federal, or both jurisdictions. It was an inspiring and memorable event, presided over by the Honorable Catherine C. Eagles, the Honorable Bill Wood, and the Honorable Bill Davis. We are grateful to these distinguished judges for joining us in celebrating this important milestone in the careers of our newest colleagues. We were also joined by guest speakers Hillary Kies on behalf of the GBA, Butch Segal on behalf of the North Carolina Bar Association, and Dean Zachary Kramer on behalf of Elon University School of Law.
Looking Ahead: Service and Impact
Looking ahead, our Section is excited to continue giving back to the community through upcoming service initiatives. We are preparing for our next Urban Ministries dinner, where members will join together to cook and serve a meal to those in need in our community. Additionally, we’re continuing to explore meaningful ways to strengthen our impact at Hunter Elementary School, building on the strong partnership we’ve cultivated over the years.
Stay tuned—more updates and opportunities to get involved are just around the corner!
