About Us
Queensland Young Lawyers (QYL) is an independent not-for-profit association dedicated to encouraging and supporting the personal and professional development of young lawyers and barristers in Queensland.
We are a vibrant and energetic association that endeavours to serve its members by organising regular social, networking and career development events.
QYL is managed by a committee of member volunteers and operates pursuant to a written constitution. The committee meets monthly to discuss issues facing young lawyers, plan upcoming events and develop communications for members and our broader contact group.
QYL is committed to fostering an inclusive, supportive and forward thinking legal community. Through advocacy, education and collaboration with the broader profession, QYL seeks to amplify the voices of young lawyers, address issues impacting the early stages of legal careers, and create meaningful communities for connection, learning and leadership.
