What
is the NLD?
AAJ's New Lawyers Division (NLD) is eager to assist members
in the early stages of their professional careers, as well as
provide new lawyers with every resource they need to achieve
success. Attorney members who have been admitted to the practice
of law for less than 10 years are automatically enrolled in
the New Lawyers Division once they become an AAJ member.
The Division has an extensive national Board of Governors and
very active Committees. Your participation will always be welcome!
To volunteer for a committee or to be designated as a Governor
of the NLD contact Gina Spear at 800-424-2725, ext. 341, or
