Young Lawyers Group
The Young Lawyers Group at Combined Jewish Philanthropies engages attorneys and law students under age 40 who are part of Boston’s legal and Jewish communities. The Young Lawyers Group is part of the CJP Lawyers Team and Young Leadership Division and offers a variety of events and special programs throughout the year. Our goal is to enhance the awareness of issues affecting the Jewish people both locally and around the world, while strengthening relationships among young lawyers and law students.


Are you a young lawyer and looking to get involved?

The Young Lawyers Group is run by a planning committee of young lawyers and law students representing the private, public and academic sectors. The Committee meets throughout the year and plans the group’s two annual events.  Join us and discover new opportunities to network, socialize and impact the young legal community in Greater Boston.

Recent Event:

On Monday evening, May 3, sixty lawyers, accountants and health professionals gathered at CJP for the YLG/YHP Cinco de Mayo Tequila Tasting & Celebration.  The evening kicked off with remarks from CJP’s CFO David Strong, who spoke about the overall scope of CJP and provided a high level overview of CJP’s assets, revenue flows and how we are evaluated publicly via Charity Navigator.  He was followed by a presentation from JALSA (Jewish Alliance for Law & Social Action), who provided attendees with numerous opportunities to get involved with helping those in need in the community.  “Liquid Anthropologist” Brad Jarvis then led the group through a history of tequila making and a tasting of four tequilas, each of which was paired with a course from our Mexican dinner.  Following the tasting, attendees were invited to continue the celebration with dessert, Mexican music, margaritas & Mexican beer and a piñata.
