    As a young lawyer, the ABA has provided me the opportunity to meet and develop relationships with a diverse network of lawyers from all over the country, invaluable career development resources, leadership opportunities, and most importantly, the opportunity to give back to the communities we serve through inspiring public service projects such as Choose Law, Wills for Heros, and They Had A Dream Too.
