A message from YLD to Memphis Law students:<\/p>\n
Hello law students,<\/em><\/p>\n My name is Jonathan May, and I\u2019m emailing in regard to the 2015 Memphis Bar Association Young Lawyers Division Lawyers Basketball League.\u00a0 I am chair of the Sports Committee of the Young Lawyers Division in charge of coordinating this year\u2019s league.\u00a0 As some of you may be aware, the YLD opened the league to law students last 2 years and we are continuing with that trend so that law students may participate.\u00a0 The only requirement is that you sign up for the Memphis Bar Association as a law student member.\u00a0 Membership is free for law students and you can sign up via its website (click here<\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n As to the league, teams generally have anywhere between 6 to 10 players.\u00a0 There is a fee to play in the league, but it is determined based on the total number of teams and players playing in the league, so we won\u2019t have the exact number until closer to the start of the league.\u00a0 We are looking to start the league on February 23, 2015.\u00a0 Games are played two nights a week (Monday\/Thursday) at gyms in Midtown and East Memphis.\u00a0 Games will generally start around 6:30pm, with games at 6:30, 7:30, and 8:30.\u00a0 If you are interested in playing, we ask that you sign up using the link above, print out the confirmation page showing you are signed up, and bring the printed page to the \u201cdraft\u201d discussed below.<\/em><\/p>\n There will be an information session and (very) informal \u201cdraft\u201d\/happy hour on Thursday, February 5, 2015 at the Hard Rock Caf\u00e9 on Beale Street starting at 5:30pm.\u00a0 We will give new interested players some time to meet and talk to league members.\u00a0 The new players will then be assigned to teams later that night or following the draft. If you want to play and cannot make the draft, that\u2019s no problem \u2013 just let us know and we will put you in the draft and email you afterwards to let you know what team you\u2019re on. Please email me (jmay@lewisthomason.com<\/a>) with any questions.\u00a0 We ask that all law students go through the draft.\u00a0 If you played last year, however, please let us know (and what team you played with) so we can put you back on that roster if that’s what you prefer.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n We hope to see you on the court!<\/em><\/p>\n Jonathan<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A message from YLD to Memphis Law students: Hello law students, My name is Jonathan May, and I\u2019m emailing in regard...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2046","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-announcements"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2046"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2046\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2047,"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2046\/revisions\/2047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
