Cincinnati Bar
YOUNG LAWYERS SECTION
educate junior and senior lawyers with CLE opportunities, and it provides a space for service to many groups, including paying clients, pro bono clients, and to the community as a whole through local non-profit partners.
What’s your favorite Cincinnati restaurant?
The Littlefield in Northside (my neigh- borhood): their food is outstanding, the drinks are spectacular (try their Cherry Street Manhattan or their rotating monthly cocktail that contributes to a local charity), and you can’t beat a sunny patio in summer to enjoy them both!
Anything else you think members should know?
Two things: (1) There are a lot of people at the CBA (both attorneys and staff members) who work really hard every day to make this an excellent orga- nization; please remember that and don’t hesitate to say “thank you” often. (2) You can be a member of YLS through age 36 or your first 5 years in practice (whichever is later), so if you meet either criterion, I hope you’ll join us and that I’ll get to meet you soon.
The CBA Young Lawyers Section (YLS) held its annual meeting on April 11 at The Transept. The event kicked off with networking, followed by welcome
remarks from outgoing chair Jabari A. Shaw. CBA Past President Stephen L. Richey swore in the newly elected 2023-24 YLS board: Ryan W. Goellner, Chelsea J. Chalk, Jonathan M. Kelly, and Jesse Hockenbury. Ryan W. Goellner presented the YLS awards to Alesha Hamilton receiving the Community Service Award, Zachary Frye receiving the YLS Professionalism Award,
and Jabari A. Shaw receiving the YLS Cincinnati Leadership Award.
