YLS Special Issue: The Balanced Lawyer

Over 30 members participated in the Young Lawyer Section’s Most Fit Lawyer Competition” on February 22 at the River North Gym at the MART. Fitness challenges included a 1-mile run, push-ups, lateral cone drill, sit ups, standing squat press, and pull ups. First place went to Chase Stewart, an attorney with G&G Law, second place to Gia Velasquez, an attorney with Loeb & Loeb, and third place to Alexi Spiratos, a review attorney with Xact Data Discovery.

The Young Lawyers Section hosted “Shadow-a-Lawyer” during the month of February and the program was met with overwhelm- ing support from the membership. The program gave law students insight into the day-to-day life of a practicing attorney. Thanks to the generosity of CBA members, over 90+ shadowing opportunities were made available to law students including status and motion hearings, trials, depositions, appellate oral arguments and networking events.
