WELCOME FROM THE CHAIR

Fellow Attorneys,

On behalf of the Bucks County Bar Association Young Lawyers' Division (YLD), I would like to welcome you to the YLD website.

The YLD is comprised of more than 120 members who are all either under the age of 38 or in the profession for five years or less. The goal of the division is to provide professional development opportunities to the newer members of the bar association. Some of the ways that we achieve that goal are by working to ensure that our members have access to CLE courses that focus on issues that are pertinent them, organizing networking events that allow our members to meet and form relationships with attorneys and members of the business community and voicing the opinions and concerns of our members to the other bar association leaders.

The YLD is very active in the bar association and the community. On an annual basis, the division sponsors and holds the Bucks County Division of the Pennsylvania High School Mock Trial Competition. The division also routinely schedules social events which serve as excellent networking opportunities for the members.

The YLD Executive Committee welcomes the active involvement of all YLD members. Please feel free contact us should you have any questions about the YLD or to discuss how you can become more involved in the division.

We look forward to meeting you at an upcoming YLD event.

Sincerely,

Daniel M. Keane, Esq.
YLD Chair, 2010 - 2011
