TYLA supports its affiliated young lawyer bar associations by providing funding to support local programs that further the purposes of TYLA and by recognizing outstanding effort and achievement through our award programs.

The Local Affiliate grant program is available to those local bar associations who have affiliated with TYLA for programs implemented at the local level furthering TYLA's purposes. These grants are primarily for new programs.

TYLA presents awards at its annual meeting for the outstanding non-lawyer, outstanding lawyer, and for local affiliate projects. Click the links below to view the past affiiliate projects and to download application forms.
