UYLF: More Than a Network, It’s a Movement
At Urhobo Young Lawyers Forum (UYLF), we are committed to nurturing the next generation of legal minds within the Urhobo nation. Founded in 2024, UYLF was born from a vision to create a strong support system for young Urhobo lawyers and law students — a space for mentorship, growth, and meaningful connection.
Whether it’s building legal confidence, gaining clarity on career direction, or simply finding a community that understands your journey, UYLF is more than a network — it’s a movement.
“We believe in empowerment through knowledge, and we are dedicated to building a community of Urhobo legal professionals equipped for long-term success — in law and beyond.”
