YLS Joins Forces with Elon Law for 1L Networking Workshop
On September 23, 2026, YLS joined forces with Elon Law to participate in a 1L Networking Workshop. Young lawyers had the opportunity to meet the new students, and teach them about the opportunities that networking can provide, as well as the “Dos” and “Dont’s” of networking. This event allowed the 1Ls to connect with local legal professionals, while allowing YLS to explain the importance of giving back to the local legal community, and begin the connections that will give back to the Greensboro Bar Association for years to come!
