YLD also hosts a pro bono luncheon
each year, where a number of pro
bono groups share information about
the services they provide to the
community and invite young lawyers
to get involved.
A few yea rs ago, the YLD also
partnered with Bay Area Legal
Services to start the YLD evening
family forms clinic. The clinic is a
successful monthly clinic that serves
eight to 15 clients per month. It is a
wonderful complement to the
daytime clinic, and it enables clients,
who work or have other conflicts
during the day, to receive assistance
with filling out family law forms.
For years, YLD members have
found that not only are they helping
our community by participating in
these events, but that their involve -
ment is rewarding and beneficial to
them in more ways than they could
have ever imagined.
In closing, we should all care and
find ways to make a difference.
I encourage each of you to find
a way to get involved; your
involvement has a tremendous
positive impact on our current
community, as well as our future
generations. Please reach out to me
if you have any questions or would
like to get further involved with the
YLD and our programs.
