AABANY proudly presents the 2025 AABANY Fall Conference, “Together we Thrive: The Power of Us!" which is taking place on Saturday, September 27, 2025, at New York Law School. We will be presenting a full day of Continuing Legal Education (CLE) programs on cutting-edge topics, as well as the following special programs:

Diversity Career Fair
The Diversity Career Fair will feature selected public sector, corporate sector, and law firm employers who will host informational sessions, meet and greet interested applicants, including experienced attorneys, recent law school graduates, and law students, and/or conduct first round on-site interviews. In addition, attendees can meet members of AABANY’s Career Advancement Committee and receive career advice, as well as learn more about other job openings.

Trial Advocacy Program
AABANY’s Litigation Committee is proud to present the 2025 Trial Advocacy Program ("TAP") at the Fall Conference this year. TAP offers junior lawyers a unique opportunity to hone their trial skills under the guidance of seasoned trial veterans (former state and federal prosecutors and state and federal trial judges) and receive constructive feedback to help you become a stronger trial advocate. This year, we will conduct TAP as a fourth track at the Conference, focusing on essential trial skills, including opening statements, direct examinations, cross examinations, and closing statements. Participants will be given a mock trial problem to work through with a partner and then perform the mock trial for a faculty of mentors, who will provide individualized critiques to help participants sharpen their trial advocacy skills.

Link-Up Reception (Invitation Only)
The In-House Counsel Link-Up Reception provides law firm invitees an opportunity to engage with numerous senior in-house counsel who have indicated a current or future need for outside legal services. Gold level sponsors and above will be invited to attend the Link-Up Reception, and information on how law firms, solo practitioners, and legal service vendors can apply for an invitation will be provided at a later date. This is a great opportunity to meet diverse in-house attorneys for current or future legal services, needs, or concerns. In-house participants at the Reception will either (i) have direct responsibility for making decisions on hiring outside counsel decisions or (ii) have significant influence over selection of outside counsel and can arrange for meetings with more senior counsel within their respective organizations.

Cocktail Reception
At the conclusion of the day's CLE programs, all participants are invited to stay for the Cocktail Reception to connect or reconnect with peers, friends and colleagues from AABANY. AABANY will present its Trailblazer Award to a prominent member of AABANY's community who exemplifies the qualities of a role model and trailblazer in the legal profession in New York.
