Welcome to the New Lawyers Division subportal! The New Lawyers Division is open to all North Carolina Advocates for Justice members who have been in practice 10 years or less. We invite you to peruse these pages to learn more about our Division's activities.

The New Lawyers Division is made up of nearly 800 attorneys who are in their first ten years of practice. The Division is an excellent source of support for new attorneys, and provides a statewide network of colleagues on which new attorneys can rely for information and referrals. The NLD sponsors many events during the year - networking socials, public outreach projects, interaction with law schools and has a tremendous & active listserv.
