The Young Lawyers Section (YLS) has as its primary goals the promotion of justice, the encouragement of public service, and the promotion of diversity and education of young lawyers and newly admitted practitioners. These goals are achieved through the educational, public service, and community programs produced by the section’s twenty-plus statewide committees and the nine regional young lawyer organizations in the state. The section also serves a valuable social and networking role in introducing young lawyers to each other and assisting them in their transition into the Connecticut legal practice. The section includes all members of the CBA who are 37 years old or younger or who have been admitted to the Bar for less than six full bar years.

This program will shed light on fee agreements and billing practices for Real Estate attorneys in Connecticut. We will discuss flat fee agreements, if and when it is appropriate to charge additional fees when you have a flat fee agreement, and situations in which an hourly rate may be more appropriate.
This seminar is intended as an intermediate overview of two subjects 1. Recent changes the federal government has made to the Social Security Administration, which impact SSA disability practice; and, 2. The recent and upcoming changes in federal law to Medicaid eligibility, which a substantial number of disability claimants and recipients rely on to cover their medical care. These changes are going to impact clients applying for or already receiving disability benefits and/or Medicaid, and thus practitioners helping clients with disabilities are going to need to know the new requirements, exceptions, and changes to the practice.
