YLS plans for 2026 during fall meeting
The Young Lawyers’ Section Council met Nov. 21 in Jefferson City to plan for the upcoming year and participate in a Missouri.FreeLegalAnswers.org clinic.
The Missouri Bar Young Lawyers’ Section works to facilitate the professional growth and public service of new and recently admitted Missouri lawyers. The YLS Council is comprised of approximately 35 lawyers from districts across the state who are elected by their peers to serve two-year terms.
The fall council meeting served as a planning session to discuss projects and events for 2026. Highlights from the meeting include:
- Election of Taylor Haas to fill the District 10 vacancy,
- financial report and budget updates,
- delegate and liaison reports,
- committee chair reports, and
- planning for the council’s Winter Meeting in February and the Annual Meeting of The Missouri Bar in September.
In addition to the meeting, the council also hosted a Missouri.FreeLegalAnswers.org clinic where 15 lawyers answered 25 non-criminal legal questions from the public. At each meeting, the council strives to host a community service project to help new and young lawyers integrate into the profession and even better serve their clients and communities.
