NLD Public Service Project
Do you want to be a part of helping those in need? We are looking for volunteers to assist in giving back to those who are in need.
The NLD Public Service Committee focuses on civic-oriented projects and is also responsible for the substantive content information, articles, and photographs on public service projects involving new lawyers around the country for inclusion on the Web site and in the Sidebar newsletter.
The next project will be in conjunction with the AAJ's winter convention in New Orleans. If you would like to be a part of the Public Service Project Committee please contact the Chair, Cody Favilla at cfavilla@simmonscooper.com.

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
