Alright, alright…so I know we technically started Generation JD on Tuesday, October 27 in conjunction with the launch of our new Web site, but last night you could say we “officially” got things underway.

We held a launch party/happy hour at the B&O Restaurant in downtown Baltimore (pictured) where the state’s young lawyer crowd came together to eat, drink, schmooze and meet our Generation JD writers and Daily Record staff.

We had a great time and we hope you come back here to get your fix of legal analysis/commentary from our talented writers.

When is it okay to not call a Judge, ‘Your Honor‘? Should cell phones be allowed in the courtroom? And what is the best way to organize a trial binder (hat tip: John Cord). Those are a just a few of the posts that have already been submitted.

Enjoy and Happy Reading!

We’re thrilled to bring you Generation J.D., a blog for young lawyers in Maryland and across the country.

Generation J.D. is a product of The (Maryland) Daily Record, a business and legal publication since 1888.

Our writers will share their experiences starting out in the legal profession and balancing work and family life.

What’s it like to stand in front of a judge for the first time? How do you juggle a new baby and a BigLaw job? And what’s it like behind-the-scenes at a lawyers’ league softball game?

The answers to those questions and more await you! Happy reading.
