Young Lawyers Section: Connections

An Update from YLS

In December, YLS hosted a candy table at the GBA holiday party.  We enjoyed having many of you stop by!  During the party, YLS collected socks, hats, and gloves for Backpack Beginnings.  Thank you to the many GBA members that donated items!  The amount of donations far surpassed our expectations.  In January, YLS looks forward to hosting a lunch event for its members at Liberty Oak.  We are also in the process of planning other events for early 2025, including a “lunch and learn” event about mentorship.  If you are eligible for YLS and do not currently receive our emails, please email younglawyerssection@greensborobar.org to be added to our email list!  Our email list is the best way to receive information about upcoming YLS events.

YLS Member Spotlight: Mike Casterlow, Board Member

Mike is an Elder Law attorney at the Elderlaw Firm in Greensboro.  Mike assists clients with long-term care planning, Medicaid planning, and general estate planning.  Mike’s favorite part of his job is that even though he deals with a lot of hard and fast rules, he can still be creative in how he serves his clients.  When asked why he joined the YLS board, Mike stated “I became a YLS board member to get more involved in the local legal community and find volunteer opportunities.”
