THE YOUNG LAWYERS SECTION

you to join us for these YLS events. As you start your professional journey, use these events to meet and network with other attorneys and celebrate your accomplish ments. You have overcome several holi day seasons of law school final exams and bar study to get here, which is a grand achievement. It was an absolute privilege to speak at one of your swearing-in cer emonies. Your energy and enthusiasm as you join the profession inspire my efforts in my daily work life and to better the profession.

I look forward to meeting you all, and I cannot wait to see what you will accom plish. As always, I am always available to chat or meet. Finally, if you see me at any point this holiday season, please share your own or your family’s holiday traditions with me. I always love learning about them, and doing so will help make the YLS and the greater legal community feel a little bit more like home. I wish everyone a safe, happy holiday season and an even better New Year!

TAKING A CAREER BREAK Considerations and Ramifications December 11, 2024 | 4:00-5:00 p.m. 1 IL MCLE Credit | Live Webcast

Legal careers are not always linear trajectories. We step away — whether to move to another job, for family or health or other reasons — and can come back to the same workplace or choose a new one, charting our course successfully… despite incurring the once dreaded resume gap or taking the risk that our former job was our best job. Our featured legal career counselor Kathy Morris of Under Advisement, Ltd. and her panel of guest attorneys will provide information and inspiration as you anticipate your options and obligations for the coming year to manage the life and work that’s right for you.
