Courtroom Conduct and Attire Event – Friday, Nov. 12, Portage Country Club

Mark your calendars for a fantastic event at the Portage Country Club!

On Friday, November 12 at Portage Country Club, the Women in Law Section of the Akron Bar Association is hosting a CLE discussing conduct and attire in the courtroom, along with some of the reported decisions that address this same issue.  Judges Rowlands, McCarty, and Cosgrove will be our panelists, and the program has been approved for 1.0 hour of Professionalism credit.  The CLE starts at 5:00 p.m.

Immediately after the CLE, we’ll be having our “Law Suits Fashion Show.”  We’ll be serving heavy hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, while we enjoy a fashion show featuring both men and women’s clothing.  Judges from our local courts will be modeling, while Judge Tom McCarty will be our emcee.

The cost of the event is:

                              $42 for CLE and fashion show
                              $27 for fashion show and cocktails only

We will also be collecting donations of gently-used professional clothing that will be contributed to the students of the Akron Law and Leadership Institute.  These suits will allow some students (who might not otherwise have access to such specialty clothing) to participate in the program with confidence.

Hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Caryn L. Peterson, Chair of the Women in Law Section
