Who is a member of the Young Lawyers Division?

All members of the Utah State Bar in good standing under 36 years of age as well as members who have been admitted to their first state bar for less than five years, regardless of age, are automatically members of the Young Lawyers Division. Membership terminates automatically at the adjournment of the annual convention of the Utah State Bar following a member’s thirty-sixth birthday or the third anniversary of a member’s first state bar admission. There is no need to sign-up or pay dues to be a member of the Young Lawyers Division.
