First Responders Will Clinic

The Association demonstrates this respect every day. The Association’s Street Law Program introduces youth to the legal system and future career options in a positive light. The new YLD board and YLD Leadership Academy are intended to accelerate the development of younger attorneys into competent bar and community leaders. There are other examples too numerous to list here.

For the Association to remain successful, we must continue to exhibit, even exude, the better principles of the legal practice, aspiring to become individual and collective beacons of professionalism. If becoming a beacon of professionalism is too corny for you, I understand, but I will leave you with the advice (which you are also free to reject) I periodically give to my teen son: “Be civilized!”
