Come learn how it's done. We rightfully spend a good deal of time and resources to help children and adolescents identify the kind of behavior that can result in criminal or civil liability and learn the consequences of this kind of behavior. This Texas Young Lawyers Association program is unique in that it is designed to explore the same topics with parents rather than young people. This program provides some-thing for everyone in that its implementation can range from basic to very elaborate depending upon the financial and volunteer resources available. In an attempt to address the extremely low participation of lawyers with disabilities in the profession and in the Bar, in 1999 the ABA's House of Delegates amended Goal IX to include lawyers with disabilities.
Every bar association shares the worthy mission of serving their members and their community.
However, this mission is often negatively impacted by the increasing demands being placed on young lawyers' time, which may prevent their participation in bar activities. Learn how to overcome these obstacles and increase visibility and membership involvement for your bar organization through the use of liaisons. Several different types of liaisons will be discussed, including liaisons to particular segments of an organization's membership, to related entities, and to other bar and community organizations with similar missions. Your affiliate can replicate this timely program, and the Connecticut young lawyers will show you how. Leave an indelible mark in the lives of children in your community using this established Dade County Bar Association YLS program as a guide.
