Law Day Luncheon

Each year, the Bar Association hosts a luncheon to celebrate Law Day, which is observed nationally on May 1. The Bar Association’s annual luncheon presents an opportunity to recognize citizens within our legal community who have made significant contributions to our system of justice. Students are also recognized each year for participating in the annual Mock Trial Tournament. All BAEC members are invited to join us for this special event!
