Events/Activities
Fellowship Meetings:
Approximately once every quarter, the society sponsors a breakfast or luncheon meeting featuring an address from an inspiring speaker. The meetings are intended to be a source of inspiration and a vehicle for fellowship for interested attorneys and law students. We also organize fellowship events such as picnics at a local park or gatherings at a local attorney's home at least twice a year.
Specific information and a schedule of upcoming events can be found under the "Events" tab.
