YLS co-hosts will regularly discuss issues of

interest to young lawyers in an informative

and entertaining way. The podcast will

serve as a platform for YLS members to

explore topical legal issues, consider our

history, work through our common chal-

lenges, and highlight our members and

their accomplishments.

All those who are reading this know

well how challenging our profession can

be. Being a lawyer requires long hours,

a never-ending dedication to our clients’

interests, and most of all, a love of the

art of advocacy as a vehicle for justice,

progress, and right action. Being a lawyer

empowers, but it also humbles. It teaches

us constantly and demands that we teach

others in turn. And once in a while, when

we work together for each other and our

community, it somehow inspires us to work

even harder.

That will be the YLS’ mission this year:

to deliver on the promise that every minute

you invest in the YLS and its members is

a minute you invest in your own future. I

ask you to work with me, and more impor-

tantly, work with each other, to make the

YLS work for you.
