SBM young lawyers section
The Young Lawyers Section of the State Bar of Michigan provides education, information, and analysis about issues of concern through meetings, seminars, this site, public service programs, and publication of a newsletter. Membership in the Section is open to all members of the State Bar of Michigan. Statements made on behalf of the Section do not necessarily reflect the views of the State Bar of Michigan.
Founded in 1940, the Young Lawyers Section ("YLS") is the oldest and largest section of the State Bar of Michigan. 2000 marks its 60th year! The YLS began as the "Junior Bar of Michigan." In 1961, its name was changed to the Young Lawyers Section.
