The New Lawyers Committee focuses on members in their first ten years of practice.  The Committee provides educational and networking opportunities to new lawyers in the association through the stated meetings and receptions.  In addition, the Committee serves as a central resource to communicate with other committee chairs and members of AIPLA's Board to provide new lawyers opportunities to become more involved in the association.  New Lawyers Committee members are active participants in planning substantive programs for the stated meetings, co-authoring CLE papers with speakers, including corporate counsel, judging and administering the Giles Rich Moot Court Competition and the Watson Writing Competition, and assisting substantive committees with a variety of activities, including research and writing projects, committee meeting planning and implementation, developing educational materials, and managing committee microsites.
