On October 27, 2016, the YLD sponsored the National Constitution Center Traveling Program at William Davies Middle School in Hamilton, New Jersey. The National Constitution Center educators presented two daytime shows, the first at 9:00am and the second

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. Our team was made up of 22 paddlers and 1 drummer. The festival began early at 8:30 am, with the first heat beginning at 9:30am. Our races took place at 9:50am and 1:30pm. 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!

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

For the first time ever, the Press of Atlantic City has chosen to recognize the YLD's hardwork towar

Shortly after the highly successful Arden Bus Trip in June, the Young Lawyers Division sat in a meeting trying to brainstorm more ways to give back to its community. One of the biggest issues in our local economy is the wide-spread budget cuts occuring in every school district in Atlantic County (and beyond). As a result of these budget cuts, students have suffered double, as they have lost great teachers who had to be let go and they have lost the opportunity to engage in
