Young Lawyers Section: Connections
Robert Trimble
is President of the Greensboro Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Section and is an associate attorney with Sigmon Klein, PLLC.
During the month of January, the Young Lawyers Section sponsored a 1-hour CLE titled, “Ripped From The Headlines: Ethical Conundrums to Avoid.” The CLE, which was held on Zoom, was an informative presentation by Lawyers Mutual, and provided attendees with 1-hour of free ethics credit toward NC Bar CLE requirements. Thank you to all Young Lawyers Section members and GBA members who were able to join us! We look forward to providing other free CLE opportunities again in the future.
BackPack Beginnings In-Person Service Opportunity and Networking Event:
The Young Lawyers Section is holding an in-person service opportunity at BackPack Beginnings in Greensboro. The service opportunity will take place on Thursday, February 23, 2023, from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm, and volunteers will be packing weekend food bags which will be distributed to children in need at preschools and elementary schools in our community. BackPack beginnings is located at 3711 Alliance Dr. off West Wendover Ave. in Greensboro. The YLS will be collecting plastic grocery bags and canned foods in preparation for the event. Plastic bag and canned good donations can be made at Sigmon Klein Law Firm or Ward Black Law.
Following the service opportunity, the YLS will be hosting a networking event at 913 Whiskey Bar. The event will begin at 5:15 pm and will be a great opportunity to socialize with other young attorneys in Greensboro. Both events are open to all Young Lawyers Section members and GBA members.
