WELCOME TO OUR NEW
LAW WEEK DETAILS PAGE!

 

This year's Law Day theme was "Law in The 21st Century:  Enduring Traditions, Emerging Challenges".  We held our annual luncheon honoring our contest winners, Law Day student shadows, and Pro Bono Award Recipient Attorney Jonathan P. Morgan at The Grand Pavilion at Avalon Inn on Friday, April 30, 2010.  Congressman Tim Ryan delivered a great Keynote speech and a great time was had by all in attendance!

We again offered area high school students the opportunity to shadow a Bar Association member during the morning of April 30, 2010 and to attend the Law Day Luncheon with their Mentor Attorney.  The following attorneys and students are this year's participants, and we thank you all for your participation:
