The Section’s goals are to provide new lawyers in Maine an opportunity to get involved in the state bar association, to provide networking and professional development opportunities, and to give something back to the community.
Who We Are: The Governing Council
The Section’s mission is accomplished through the elected Governing Council. The council is comprised of 13 individuals who meet on a regular basis to find ways to make sure the voice of new lawyers is heard and to organize events to enable our membership to become active and meet others in their profession.
We can introduce you to new lawyers across the state, involve you in our public service projects, provide you with substantive CLE and practical skills training programs, help develop your networking skills, and generally help you gain a professional advantage in your law practice.
This year, the Governing Council will be focusing its efforts in three distinct areas: 1) expanding the Section’s involvement in the community; (2) continuing to provide social events designed to bring our members together; and (3) increasing participation and professional development opportunities. At the annual meeting in January, committees were formed to help achieve results in each of the above three areas.
How Can You Get Involved?
The Section holds regular business meetings and sponsors networking and community events throughout the year. Members are always welcome to attend any business meeting or event of interest. We welcome your thoughts and suggestions about how we can better serve you and we look forward to hearing from you.
