EVENTS AT ATLANTA LEGAL AID

With our role in the Atlanta legal community in mind, Legal Aid brings you Cocktails & Connections, a corporate auction fundraiser. The purpose of this ticket-limited event is to facilitate introductions and business opportunities between our many committed volunteers. Tickets include a buffet, an open bar and access to the bidding. Attendees can bid for the rights to have lunch with the corporate counsels of various corporations – the life blood of corporate law offices. Join us for an evening of networking! cocktailsconnections.org

Join us for the premier legal event of the summer, held this year at Park Tavern. beertastingevent.org

The Brickyard plays host to the hopefuls battling it out to be the karaoke and lip-syncing star. This is your chance to have fun and go local!
