The Jefferson County Bar Association is pleased to announce that Chief Justice Madsen and Justice Yu will be speaking at Finn River Farm’s new location in Chimacum on Friday, August 12, 2016. The Justices plan on speaking from 4:00pm to 5:30pm regarding ten important WA State Supreme Court decisions over the past year including the McCleary decision . You will receive 1.0 CLE credits for attending. The event is free but you are encouraged to donate to the Clallam-Jefferson Pro Bono Attorneys Organization.
Also, this event doubles as the bar association’s summer social event. We hope that you stay after the Justices’ presentation to enjoy each other’s company and Finn River Farm’s beautiful new setting. Although we are positively sure that you do not need incentive to attend this amazing event, Urquia Law will be hosting a cider bar for the attendees. Free cider!??! Yes, it’s true. Applicious.
Finally, this event is open to the community not just for lawyers. So, please bring your family and friends to the event. The Justices would like to meet everyone and answer any questions that they may have about the Court.
