Dear Young Lawyers, fall is fast approaching and there are many exciting YLC events on the horizon. The YLC Leaders Institute will take place on September 28 and 29 in Richmond. This event brings together YLC leaders from around the state to learn the procedures and policies of the Virginia State Bar and YLC as well as to collaborate and plan upcoming programs and initiatives for the bar year.

The Professional Development Series (PDS) is hosting two free in-person CLEs on October 3rd in Tysons Corner. Registration information is below.
