Justice Jamie Grosshans talked to those attending the YLD’s annual Affiliate Outreach Conference in Orlando about the importance of how lawyers present themselves and their reputations.

Hundreds of young lawyers packed an Orlando ballroom for the Young Lawyers Division’s 2025 Affiliate Outreach Conference, where a Florida Supreme Court justice, with an assist from a New York fashion expert, helped launch a major new professionalism initiative.

“One of the goals this year was to make sure that we’re engaging with the young lawyers that we’re serving,” said YLD President Ashlea Edwards. “The attendance was really, really great and for the professionalism showcase, we had a ballroom full of people.”
