Young Lawyers Section: Connections
An Update from YLS
In October, YLS held a networking event with NCBA YLD (Young Lawyers Division) at Bull City Ciderworks! We enjoyed the opportunity to connect with many of our members, as well as members of NCBA YLD. On November 1st, YLS held a fall swearing-in ceremony at the Old Guilford County Courthouse. Congratulations to the 11 individuals that were sworn into state or federal court!
On November 4th, YLS held a service event with Greensboro Urban Ministries. Members of YLS provided and prepared dinner for about 100 people. Thank you to all those that participated! We enjoyed seeing many of our members at these recent events!
In December, YLS looks forward to participating in the GBA holiday party! We welcome you to join us at our table! At the holiday party, YLS will also be collecting socks, hats, and gloves for children of all ages (baby/toddler to high school age) for Backpack Beginnings!
YLS Member Spotlight: Andrew Carter, Board Member
Andrew practices construction law and business litigation in the Greensboro office of Maynard Nexsen. Andrew’s favorite part of his job is “thinking of creative solutions to difficult problems.” Andrew chose to join the YLS board to serve his community and connect with new and experienced lawyers. When asked what his advice for new attorneys is, Andrew stated “Participate in community events; you can learn from experienced lawyers, grow with your peers, and inspire newer lawyers.”
New YLS Email Address
