As the 2014-15 president of the Alabama State Bar Young Lawyers' Section, I'm taking this opportunity to re-acquaint you with the YLS and announce a number of exciting changes to our section! The YLS consists of all Alabama lawyers who, as of July 1, 2014, were 36 years old or younger or had been licensed to practice in Alabama for three years or less. The YLS offers its members a number of privileges, providing great networking opportunities, hosting low-cost CLE's specifically relevant to young lawyers and coordinating numerous events by which members have the chance to serve both their communities and the Alabama State Bar.
Last year, W. Christopher Waller, Jr. from Montgomery did an amazing job as president, and our section would not be in the great state it's in today without his leadership. His shoes will be impossible to fill! Fortunately, the YLS has been blessed with an incredible, forward-thinking Executive Committee whose tireless work has yielded significant results over the remainder of the year.
This year's officers are:
S. Hughston Nichols, vice president (Birmingham)
Charles E. Tait, secretary (Mobile)
J. Parker Miller, treasurer (Montgomery)
The YLS Executive Committee includes: Euan G. Allen, Jesse K. Anderson, Christopher L. Burrell, Joel T. Caldwell, Rachel B. Cash, R. Aaron Chastain, Megan Brooks Comer, Ashley W. Davis, Latisha R.

Maples, Janine A. McKinnon, Harold D. Mooty, III, D. Brian Murphy, Amy H. Nation, Jon H. Patterson, Dottie B. Perry, Katie Osburne, Nathan A. Ryan, Julia J. Shreve and L. Robert Shreve.
The most significant change that the YLS will be making this year is that our annual spring CLE, traditionally held at the Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort, is coming home to Alabama in 2015! The appropriately renamed Orange Beach Seminar will be held at the Perdido Beach Resort May 14-16. If you've never been to the YLS CLE, it is a fantastic chance to reunite with law school friends, network with lawyers of different practice areas and locations, interact with judges from around the state, experience a meaningful CLE targeted at young lawyers and...
