Welcome to the Younger Lawyers Division of the Federal Bar Association of Los Angeles! This section is dedicated to putting together and hosting events for young lawyers throughout the city who have or seek an active federal practice. YLD events range from brown bag lunches with local federal district court and magistrate judges, to the Behind the Windows of the Clerk's Office program, a behind-the-scenes look at federal practice. We actively encourage all young lawyers under the age of thirty-six to join, and we are always looking for suggestions for new events. If you would like to get involved, please email any of the co-chairs at the addresses below. We look forward to hearing from you, and to seeing you at one of our upcoming events!

The attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine stand as fundamental cornerstones in civil and criminal matters, safeguarding the confidentiality of communications between lawyers and their clients. These principles, however, present a labyrinth of legal, ethical, and practical challenges for both legal practitioners and their clients to navigate. Our panel discussion explores the multifaceted dimensions of the attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine, focusing on their critical roles, limitations, and strategic implications. Panelists will also discuss how the privilege and doctrine apply in various scenarios, including in the joint defense context and when dealing with third parties--such as external auditors. The event will be hosted by Crowell & Moring LLP at its offices in downtown Los Angeles. Food and drinks will be provided, with a reception prior to the discussion.
