In general, the YLD's activities fall under two broad categories - projects and services - which benefit members of the legal profession, the public at large and students at all levels. These projects and services are implemented through one or more of the committees that comprise the YLD. Please take a few minutes to review our committee descriptions.
Involvement in the YLD provides the prefect combination of establishing a network for directed volunteerism and a means to meet new people and to network with other members of the legal profession in NC and beyond. On behalf of the YLD, we look forward to meeting and working with you and reaping the rewards that membership and service in the YLD bring. Please contact me for more information about the YLD or becoming involved with one of our committees. KSIEREDZKI@SC.STATE.NC.US.

ABA TOOLKIT PROGRAM
Hank White, the ABA's new executive director, is implementing a "toolkit" program to highlight the ABA's vast array of resources. Announced at the recent Bar Leadership Institute in Chicago, the toolkits are designed to support and supplement the good work and demonstrate the value of lawyers in their communities. The pilot version of the toolkit, accessible via the link below, focuses on ways bar associations and their members can address the legal concerns of U.S. service men and women. Take a look and let them know what you think.
