The Young Lawyers Division (YLD) of the State Bar of New Mexico was formed as a Section in the early 1960's and was known as the Junior Bar. In 1978, the Section became the Young Lawyer Division, which is an affiliate of the American Bar Association Young Lawyers Division (ABA-YLD).
The mission of the Young Lawyers Division is to promote the integrity and respect of the legal profession, provide services and outreach to its members, and support and encourage public service.
All State Bar members in good standing under the age of thirty-six (36), as well as those who have been admitted to the practice of law in any state for five (5) years or less are YLD members.
