Local junior lawyers divisions and groups
The groups also help you connect and build your professional networks. Many have contacts with other groups representing young or newly qualified professionals in their area.
The groups also feed into the work of the independent National JLD. Each group can nominate a representative to sit on the JLD national committee, which meets three times a year.
The local groups are organised and run by junior lawyers in the area. They are independent of the Junior Solicitors Network, the National JLD and independent of each other.
Some are called trainee solicitors or young solicitors groups, and may have different membership criteria from the National JLD – some local groups charge a membership fee.
For more information about local JLD groups, including amendments to current listings, fill out this survey.
