Kern County Bar Association YLS

Special thanks to Keleher’s for their gracious support of the Young Lawyers Section of the Kern County Bar Association. Keleher’s is a firm of experienced professionals who provide a variety of services and have three offices conveniently located throughout the central California area, including one in Bakersfield.

The Kern County Bar Association created the Young Lawyers Section (YLS) in July 2004. All KCBA Members who either: (1) are 36 years of age or younger, or (2) have first been admitted to the bar of any jurisdiction for a period of five years or less are automatically Members of the KCBA-YLS. There is no additional membership fee or process required.

The KCBA created the YLS “to promote wider acquaintance among the Young Lawyers of Kern County and to bring them together in professional and social activity; to foster discussion and interchange of ideas relative to the duties, responsibilities and problems of young lawyers; to aid and promote the advancement of young lawyers; to encourage the interest and participation of young lawyers in activities of the Kern County Bar Association (“the Association”); and to provide a means for young lawyers to collectively improve the administration of justice, serve their community in areas related to the law, and advance the community knowledge of the law.”
