Gorin, a commercial litigation associate, at  Capehart Scatchard in Mount Laurel, who both served on a Burlington County Bar Association Young Lawyers Committee panel, have received recognition from the American Bar Association Young Lawyers Division. The Burlington young lawyer committee was selected as one of the ABA division’s spring 2021 “Stars of the Quarter” for its young lawyer/law clerk Q&A panel program. This event was created recognizing that law clerks have had an unconventional year. The law clerks were able to ask questions about small and large law firm application and interviewing processes, what it’s like to be a first-year associate, and ways to effectively network during the pandemic. The ABA division recognized the Burlington committee’s outside-the-box thinking and conformity to the needs of young lawyers during this unprecedented year.
