国家律师协会/职位面临的主要问题

• 增加服务不足社区和农村社区获得导师和资源的机会.
• 连接区域分支机构. Rural counties and the young attorneys looking to practice in those communities should have access to mentorship and quality legal programming without excessive travel. 这不仅会支持我们的当地成员，还会改善这些社区. 我将寻求促进与我们区域YLD分支机构的联系. Those affiliates have a better understanding of their unique communities’ needs and how we can best support the young attorneys practicing there.
• 虚拟继续教育机会. 进一步, the YLD should maintain and host multiple annual educational platforms with multiple one-hour installments, 通过放大, 无论在哪里都可以访问. 目前, I host the Litigation 101 educational series where young attorneys can gain access to remote programming and earn up to 5 hours of 继续教育 credit by attending individual one-hour sessions, 午餐时间, 主题包括专业性, 试验准备, 健康, 法律写作, 口头宣传. This model could be expanded to other areas of practice providing similar connectivity and educational activities for lawyers in all areas of practice, 不管你住在哪个州.
• 向应届毕业生宣传YLD项目.
• 法学院外展. 太多的法学院学生在没有YLD知识的情况下毕业, 其功能, 或者YLD提供的途径来促进我们自己和当地社区的发展. 我设想在秋季学期带领YLD“巡回”到所有五所法学院. With the help of our committees, the YLD would host short programs for each different class. These programs would 服务 two purposes (1) to promote awareness and (2) to enrich and 服务 the next generation of young lawyers. 通过接触, 可见性, 以及有意的表象, I hope to increase awareness of involvement of those entering the profession in every corner of this state.
• 通过服务实现专业发展.
• 招募有服务精神的领导. 我寻求支持和授权那些想要回馈的YLD成员, 服务, 并参与到他们的社区中. We can do this through identifying members throughout the state who are hungry to 服务. Recruitment is the life blood of any great organization and the YLD is the service-arm of the Bar. 作为一名YLD军官, I would be committed to encouraging selfless leaders—those who ask how they can elevate their communities without seeking personal gain. I intend to further this cause by continuing the work of our past presidents and by virtually hosting a monthly ‘small service’ project which challenges each YLD member to, 在某种程度上, 为他们的社区做贡献.
• 追求健康和工作与生活的平衡.
• 促进友情. 这个职业压力很大. 通过网络活动和其他社交机会, 我试图在YLD中营造一种包容的环境. 最终, YLD是为所有人准备的, 所有成员都能从团结和社区意识中受益. 尽管法律的很多方面都是对抗性的, the YLD should remind its members (1) that we all have the same goal—delivering exceptional service to our client; and (2) of the humanity of your opposing counsel.
