An overview of the Junior Lawyers Division What is the Junior Lawyers Division (JLD)? The JLD is a group set up within the Law Society to provide junior lawyers with support, advice, information and networking opportunities at a national level, and represents the views of young lawyers through lobbying and campaigns both internationally and in the UK. In parallel to the National JLD, there are also a number of local groups which focus on the junior lawyers in their area. Each local group varies slightly in their membership, but most cater for qualified barristers, solicitors and Legal Executives up to 5 years PQE / call along with trainees, pupils, paralegals, and LPC / BPC student.
We organise regular local social, networking, and career and skill development events for our membership throughout the year. We also offer opportunities for junior lawyers to meet and interact with juniors in other non-legal professions in order to develop those all important networking skills and to forge ties with individuals at a similar level.
The South Hampshire Junior Lawyers Division (SHJLD) is the local group based in the South Hampshire area.
