PROJECT LINKS

YLAG operates a very successful program that involves and benefits our own members and the substantive ABA-IPL Section committees. If you are a Young Lawyer or Law Student you can have an opportunity to work on committee projects in areas of your interest and expertise. If you are a committee member, you can call upon a wide work force ready to assist with projects. YLAG is the conduit linking young lawyers and law students with committee projects and work. Just some of the projects we have found "links" for are:

Research

Resolution drafting

Program panelist and moderating slots

Committee and membership recruiting initiatives

Webinars

Articles for Landslide? magazine

Books peer review, chapter assistance

No project is too small and no interest from our dedicated YLAG members will go un-matched for a great link ! Please contact David Postolski for any information and questions. Publishing Opportunity in Landslide Magazine Landslide magazine is offering a publishing opportunity for a YLAG member to write an article on any topic related to the theme BOUNDARIES as part of the Meeting of the Minds program. The young lawyer would be teamed up with a senior member of the ABA-IPL Section who will oversee the article. Please email a brief description of your proposed topic to Chrissie Scelsi (trademark), Matthew Hintz (copyright) or Michael Stramiello (patent).
