YLD Welcomes New Admitees

The Young Lawyers Division will host several activities in the next few weeks to welcome its newest members to the Oklahoma Bar Association.

During the next few weeks, the YLD will host a number of opportunities for the division to extend its welcome and offer congratulations to those individuals who successfully passed the February Bar Exam.

The swearing-in ceremony for those who passed the February bar exam will be held in the house chamber at the Oklahoma State Capitol on April 27 at 10 a.m. Immediately following the ceremony, the YLD will host a reception for the new members and their families and friends. Light refreshments and snacks will be served outside the chamber in the rotunda. Information on the division’s standing committees and current activities will also be provided during this networking opportunity. For more information, contact Doris Gruntmeir at (918) 680-3983.

Happy hour receptions in Tulsa and Oklahoma City will also honor the new lawyers. All new division members, as well as all YLD members, are invited and encouraged to attend each of these events. Festivities will begin in Tulsa at Full Moon Cafe on Cherry Street beginning at 5:30 p.m. on May 3. For questions concerning the happy hour in Tulsa, please contact Sara Barry at sbarry@gablelaw.com or (918) 595-4850. The YLD happy hour in Oklahoma City will be held at Bricktown Brewery on May 17 starting at 5:30 p.m. Questions about the Oklahoma City happy hour should be directed to John Weaver at (405) 319-8535.

Detour to Dallas with the YLD

The YLD is offering a new activity at this year’s Solo and Small Conference/ YLD Midyear Meeting. On Friday, June 22, the YLD will charter a bus from Tanglewood Resort to the Deep Ellum District in Dallas. To make the approximate one-hour commute more enjoyable, the bus comes fully equipped with plasma televisions, refreshments and music. While the official itinerary is still in the works, it is projected that the bus will leave Tanglewood for Dallas at approximately 9:30 p.m. Once the bus arrives, division members will be dropped off in the heart of the Deep Ellum District where they can enjoy the night’s revelries at one of the many nightclubs or live music venues. The bus will then depart Dallas at approximately 2 a.m. and return to Tanglewood.
