Volunteer Opportunities
Where will you make your mark?- Will it be on the mind of a child who decides to pursue law after attending the Oliver Hill/Samuel Tucker Law Institute?
- Will it be on the heart of a family who gains some peace of mind from Wills for Heroes?
- Will it be on the history of your profession through the Task Force on Diversity?
Through the Young Lawyers Conference, you have the opportunity to make a difference in your profession and community, but chances are, the difference you will feel will be within yourself.
Young lawyers are making a difference. It's rewarding; it's a great way to get to know people; and it's fun. Join your fellow young lawyers today and make your mark.
