For those students that are new to law school, Barrister's Ball is a tradition at most law schools - an evening out with all your fellow students and guests. Last year, over 700 people attended and it was a great event all around. The event itself is semi-formal, has plenty of food and beverages (both non-alcoholic and alcoholic), dancing, and socializing. It isn't something you need a date for; just come in a group or meet people at the event. You can invite non-law school students to the event as well. It's fun -- you'll probably never see so many law students dancing to the electric slide at one place... It is one of the highlights of the school year according to many alums.

Please note, that the hotel policy is that tickets CANNOT be sold at the door. Therefore, you must get your tickets by 2:00 pm on Friday, February 4th. (Online sales will end on Thursday, February 3rd).

If you have any questions, please contact the SBA Programming Director, Shannon Gibson, at sgibson@law.gwu.edu.

We look forward to having you attend Barrister's Ball 2005!

Thanks,
Eric
