The Connecticut Bar Association Young Lawyers Section hosted a Speed Networking Event at Kinsmen Brewing in Milldale on April 1, bringing together a group of young attorneys and law students from across the state.
The event welcomed students from Quinnipiac University School of Law, University of Connecticut School of Law, and Western New England School of Law. The structured speed networking format gave attendees the opportunity to engage in a series of brief, focused conversations designed to foster meaningful professional relationships.
“This speed networking event reflects what the Young Lawyers Section is all about, creating meaningful opportunities for connection, mentorship, and growth,” stated YLS Law School Outreach Director Kyle A. Bechet. “By bringing together law students and practicing attorneys in a welcoming, structured environment, we’re helping to build relationships that can shape careers and strengthen the future of our profession.”
The evening began with informal networking over food and drinks, followed by the timed networking sessions, and concluded with additional opportunities for attendees to continue conversations and build connections. The Speed Networking event is part of the Young Lawyers Section’s broader mission to support professional development, encourage collaboration, and ease the transition from law school to legal practice. By facilitating direct interaction between students and practicing attorneys, the event served as a valuable bridge between education and the profession.
