Early Career Lawyers

Early Career Lawyers Community

We know it can be challenging to navigate the legal profession, especially when you’re in your first years of practice. That’s why we created the D.C. Bar Early Career Lawyers Community (ECLC)—a space where you can connect with people like you and learn from others who have been in your shoes. This new Community, initiated with the support of the Bar Association of the District of Columbia, is an exciting opportunity to develop your skills, share your experiences, and get ahead.

Like all D.C. Bar Communities, the ECLC will offer a range of in-person and online opportunities, including educational programs, volunteer projects, and networking events, and access to a listserv where you can ask questions and seek advice from other members. Membership is available to lawyers with ten or fewer years of experience.

Ready to join the ECLC today? Join D.C. Bar Communities when you log in to renew your membership. There are 21 Communities to choose from, and you can join as many as you like for one price, $89 for Standard and $130 for Premium.
