New Haven Event: Success!!!

New Haven PartyThe New Haven event was a success! Current and former clerks gathered together at Trevethan's, for drinks and appetizers, to reminisce and "catch up." A good time was had by everyone who attended, and many expressed hope of future such events -- again in New Haven, as well as in other places (such as Hartford, Bridgeport, or Stamford). We hope that we can schedule future events in appropriate locations to maximize the convenience of our colleagues/members who attend. Please enjoy a few photographs from the New Haven event here.

First DCLC Event will be July 22, 2004!

Extra! Extra! The District of Connecticut Law Clerks Society is proud to announce that it will have our first Get Together on July 22, 2004. The Event will be at Trevethan's, in New Haven, Connecticut, and it will start at 6 pm and go until the last person leaves. There will be appetizers and drinks. And there is no charge! (Brian and Jerry are sponsoring it.) The only requirement is that you have to physically be there!

On behalf of the DCLC, Brian and Jerry cordially invite all DCLC members to attend. We hope that the fairly-central location will keep it from being to difficult to make it. We can't wait to see our former co-clerks and meet new current and former clerks.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
