THE OBA YLD CAN TAKE the heat! Members assembled outside the Oklahoma Bar Center on Saturday, Sept. 21, for the YLD monthly board meeting. The Young Lawyers Division was organized in 1966 to provide an avenue for Oklahoma’s young lawyers to work on bar-related and public service-related projects. Since that time, the YLD has taken a leadership role in all bar committees and activities.

The work of the division is carried out through the combined efforts of the officers, Board of Directors, committee chairpersons and committee members. Committees are the vehicles through which YLD implements its programs and projects and from which new ideas are developed.

Whether it be serving on the YLD Board of Directors or on one of the various committees and projects, the division welcomes your participation. The board has monthly meetings typically held on Saturday mornings. Contact YLD Chairperson Laura Talbert at lrtalbert@gmail.com to learn more.

All members of the Oklahoma Bar Association in good standing who were first admitted to the practice of law in the past 10 years are automatically YLD members.
