YOUNG LAWYER
SHOWCASE
The North Dakota Young Lawyers Section (YLS)
is enjoying continued success in its support and
programming for and by young lawyers. Recently
YLS partnered with the Great Plains Food Bank
and hosted “Feed Your Community,” which is
a state-wide food and fund drive. YLS was able
to collect an astonishing 10,548 meals for the
Great Plains Food Bank! This breaks down to
4,569 pounds of food, which is the equivalent of
3,808 meals. In addition to the food donations,
monetary donations amounted to $1,685, which
is equivalent to 6,740 meals. This was the largest
state-wide food and funds drive in the 33-year
history of the Great Plains Food Bank. A very
large thank you to our legal community for the
overwhelming support, ultimately making this
event such a huge success.
The YLS Education and Professionalism
Committee will continue to host webinars this
fall. Young lawyers, as well as other licensed
attorneys, will be invited to participate in
the webinars. Please be on the lookout for
information on the upcoming webinars.
Please contact Jennifer Albaugh, YLS PresidentElect, at [email protected] to
recommend young lawyers for a future showcase
or to get involved in the YLS.
