WCM Philadelphi senior associate Hillary N. Ladov recently won a contested election to serve on the Executive Committee of the Young Lawyers Division (YLD) of the Philadelphia Bar Association. The YLD Executive Committee manages and directs the business and activities of the YLD's more than 2,900 members, and has oversight of 20 committees in the areas of public service, law-related education and service to the legal community. Most recently, the YLD hosted a free expungement clinic that assisted nearly 2,000 applicants with expunging or sealing prior arrests or convictions from their records. Hillary looks forward to continuing the important work of the YLD during her three year term.
The Philadelphia Bar Association, founded in 1802, is the oldest association of lawyers in the United States. Attorneys, judges and politicians alike look to the Philadelphia Bar Association for guidance on controversial legal issues and for an organized meeting ground for professional support and information sharing. Non-lawyers of the Philadelphia community count on, and look to, the Philadelphia Bar Association for general information on how to address their legal issues and where they can go to find additional information and help. With more than 200 years of dedicated service to stand on, the Philadelphia Bar Association is firmly rooted in the Philadelphia community as a steady and reliable bellwether.
