Celebration for New Lawyers

On Monday, Nov. 19, the CMBA hosted its semi-annual "Celebration for New Lawyers" on from 5-7 p.m. to honor those who successfully passed the Ohio Bar Examination taken in July and welcome them to the profession. The reception welcomed more than 100 people, including 28 judges and magistrates and 38 newly admitted attorneys.

The evening included remarks by several leaders in the legal community as well as ample opportunity for conversation and networking between these new lawyers, members of the judiciary and others in our legal community. Remarks were made by CMBA President Carter Strang; Judge Solomon Oliver Jr. Chief Judge of the United States District Court; Judge Nancy Fuerst, Presiding and Administrative Judge, Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court; and Judge Michael Donnelly, Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas.
