This program is part of the First Year Associate Survival Kit Series and a collaboration of the YLD’s First Gen Initiative, Professional Development Team, and Legal Pathways and Law Student Outreach Team.

Starting your legal career can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be.

In this session, you’ll learn practical strategies for managing deadlines, thriving in fast-paced environments, handling constructive feedback, and improving your work product.

Our panelists will offer firsthand advice on how they successfully tackled their early career challenges, built resilience, and developed essential skills for success. Plus, we’ll provide ample time for a Q&A session so you can ask the questions most important to you.

By the end of this program, you'll walk away with:

• Confidence to take on your first big assignments with ease.
• Strategies to organize your work and effectively manage tasks.
