Law day luncheon 2019

Seattle University School of Law Dean Annette Clark is the guest speaker for the Clallam Jefferson County Pro Bono Lawyers’ annual Law Day celebration on Friday, May 3rd. 

If you have attended Law Day in the past, you know this event is a great opportunity to reconnect with friends and colleagues and celebrate our achievements in providing free civil legal aid in our community. The theme for this year’s Law Day, Free Speech, Free Press, Free Society- focuses on these cornerstones of representative government and calls on us to understand and protect these rights to ensure, as the U.S. Constitution proposes, “the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity”.

Last year’s event was a sellout so we encourage you to sign up soon! RSVP today to reserve your spot and obtain location information. Email us at [email protected] or call 360.504.2422. The lunch is noon to 1:15, and the ex parte calendar will start late that day.
