"Young" lawyer

In the legal lexicon, the term "young lawyer" referred to the category of lawyers who have less than 7 years in experience. A lawyer who has more than 7 years of experience can contest for a position in the Bar Council and its committees. They also can act as master to the chambering students.

So, the word "young lawyer" is not referring to the age bracket. You may have a "young lawyer" who is in his 60s.
