Oct. 22, 2010 – National Pro Bono Week Fundraiser

On Friday October 22, 2010 as part of National Pro Bono week, the School of Law will sponsor a fundraising event here at the Law School. The money raised will go to  Community Legal Aid . As you know that organization services a multi -county area in Northeast Ohio, representing civil litigants who otherwise would not have access to counsel. We will offer hamburgers and hotdogs beginning at 5 p.m. outside the School in the grassy and paved areas outside West Hall or in the lobby in the event of inclement weather. Cost will be $4.00 per plate.  We will also have a cornhole tournament pitting student teams against faculty teams at a cost of $5.00 per person . The winners will receive tokens of appreciation. Finally, there will be an inflatable game( a jousting pit) where students may attempt to best selected faculty members. Cost for that will be $5.00 per student per try.

We already have eight faculty members signed up to cook, play cornhole and/or joust with you. The faculty members are confident that they will prevail in both the jousting  and the cornhole tournament.

This is a worthy cause and will be promoted nationwide and locally.

More information will be forthcoming. Please reserve the date and time.
