Geography and name recognition were areas covered by the Jacksonville Bar Association’s Young Lawyer Section(YLS) Thursday evening.
The YLS has developed a program of happy hours at different venues in Downtown Jacksonville each month. Its members discovered one of Downtown’s “Best New Bars,” according to Folio Weekly, the Ivy Ultra Bar on Thursday. The Bay Street club was the backdrop for an event that let members get to know each other and another Downtown business.
The event was timely, as the YLS prepares to volunteer at the Duval County Special Olympics Summer Games at The Bolles School on Sat., Feb. 28. Volunteers are needed and more information can be found by contacting Michael Orr at [email protected].
This event will be followed by the YLS Golf Tournament on March 20 at the Plantation at Ponte Vedra.
The YLS is composed of area young lawyers who are 35 years old or younger or who have been practicing less than five years.
