Divisions differ from sections in internal structure.
The Law Student Division is governed by a Board of Governors and has an Assembly consisting of law school representatives and student bar association representatives, which meets only at the Annual Meeting. The Judicial Division consists of judicial conferences, several with their own delegates to the ABA House of Delegates, and a committee structure. The Young Lawyers Division has a 40-member council representing 30 geographic districts and an assembly consisting of representatives of bar associations from each state. Every ABA member younger than 36 years of age or who has been admitted to the bar less than three years is automatically a member of this division. The Senior Lawyers Division has a 20-member council composed of its officers and representatives of the Commission on Legal Problems of the Elderly.
