New Lawyers
About the New Lawyers Section
Whether just starting a legal career or continuing an existing one from another jurisdiction, membership in the New Lawyers Section allows attorneys to become acclimated to the practice of law in Delaware, meet their new colleagues, and learn about the activities of the bar association. The Section sponsors informative seminars relevant to the issues facing new attorneys, provides resources to help them establish roots in the legal community, and promotes collegiality through a variety of social gatherings in all three counties. If you have been practicing for ten years or less in Delaware, we encourage you to join the New Lawyers Section.
