About Us

The YLD aims to provide members with opportunities for professional development, to promote camaraderie, and to equip members with the skills to grow, thrive, and promote the public welfare.

Young Lawyers Division (YLD) is automatic for all HSBA members until the end of the calendar year in which you turn 36 years old or if you have been in practice less than five years anywhere.

We invite and encourage members to take an active role in the YLD! Contact us at yldhawaii@gmail.com with questions, comments, or suggestions. Feel free to join us at our monthly meetings. 

The YLD is a proud affiliate of the Young Lawyers Division of the American Bar Association (ABA). For more information regarding the ABA YLD activities and resources, see the ABA YLD website.
