The Hampden County Bar Association has a standing committee known as the New Lawyers Section (NLS). The NLS promotes integration of the Bar's newest lawyers to our membership. The NLS provides many opportunities for new lawyers to become active within the legal community, including networking lunch meetings on the first Friday of each month and evening socials on the third Thursday of every month. The NLS provides community service opportunities as well. The NLS has worked with Loaves and Fishes to serve lunch to Springfield's homeless population, sponsored a holiday toy drive benefiting Toys for Tots, and raised money for other charitable organizations. If you are new to the Bar in Hampden County, please join us at our next function. For more information or to join the Hampden County Bar Association’s New Lawyers’ Section contact Noreen E.
