On Saturday, July 9th, members of the YLD teamed up with members from the ACBA to compete in the first ever South Jersey Dragon Boat Festival to benefit Gilda’s Club South Jersey.

Despite some of us never having met before, we were able to work together as a team and finished second in both of our races!

Today the ACBA Young Lawyers Division hosted 60 students from two Title I Schools in Atlantic County at the Atlantic County Civil Courthouse for the Children's Holiday Party. Thanks to the Atlantic County Law Clerks, the jury room where the party is held was already decorated at Griswald status when members arrived around 7:00am to deliver the gifts for the children to place them under the tree. Thanks also to our Director of Fundraising Bridget Sykes (Fox Rothschild) who d

We are happy to announce that last night we finished wrapping all 300 hundred gifts for the Children's Holiday Party!! It took about 20 rolls of wrapping paper, an immeasurable amount of tape, and 3 hours of skilled (well, sort of) labor to wrap all of the gifts, but we finished wrapping everything in one night, which is always our goal. Thank you to following members who volunteered their Tuesday night to come wrap: Adam Busler, Esq., Chair-Elect Alexa Makris Alexandra Stulp

We also had a great raffle, thanks to our corporate sponsors: 1. $50 Gift Card to Bob

It's a great place to kick back with friends or get to know someone new. And, the ACBA picks a new location somewhere in Atlantic County each month, so it's also a great way to try new restaurants! No tickets are needed; simply

The ACBA Young Lawyers Division engages in philanthropic and charitable outreach projects as a means to give back to the community in which we live (and in which many of us have grown up). While what we do is not done for the purpose of praise and awards, public recognition is an important means for us to raise money to continue our charitable and community outreach projects. For the first time ever, the Press of Atlantic City has chosen to recognize the YLD's hardwork towar
