The Jacksonville Bar Assocation Law Day activities wrapped up Thursday with the third annual “Law Day in May” celebration hosted by the law firm of Edwards & Ragatz at the EverBank Building in Riverside.
Edwards & Ragatz continues to support the efforts of Jacksonville Area Legal Aid with an event that brings members of the legal community together for a good cause.
“Our ‘Law Day in May’ event has a dual purpose – as a social event for everyone in the legal community, and more importantly, as a fundraiser for Jacksonville Area Legal Aid. We chose JALA because it is an organization that does outstanding work for our local community. Law Day is a time when we are supposed to reflect on the role of the justice system and its importance to our society. What better way to recognize that commitment than to give back to an organization that helps those who need access to justice the most,” said Eric Ragatz, partner at Edwards & Ragatz.
Between the past two annual events, more than $8,000 has been raised for JALA. Both had an average attendance of about 150 people.
