And raise money for a great cause! Ok, ok, we know that we won’t be winning any comedy contests for that one, but our approach tends to be more Parish than Davis/Nash. Jokes aside though, this Thursday, November 13th, in Washington, DC, a group of Irish-American and Jewish lawyers (well, lawyers-to-be) really will be walking into a bar to raise money for a great cause.
The Jewish Law Students Association and the Irish-American Law Students Association of the Catholic University of America (alma mater of PPI Founder Sean Tuohey) have organized a bar night at the Star and Shamrock in Washington, DC, on behalf of PPI. Patrons can buy a $5 wrist band at the door for drink specials all night.
PPI is extremely grateful to the IALSA and the JLSA for their support, and is looking forward to a great event!

IALSA sponsors various speaker programs, social and fundraising events for local charities, as well as food, clothing, and Christmas drive boxes.

About the JLSA: The Jewish Law Students Association (JLSA) is a member of the National Jewish Law Students Network. The JLSA strives to provide a sense of community to Jewish students by assisting with housing, school, and religious needs. The association also offers a forum for the discussion of legal, political, religious, and social issues affecting the Jewish community in the United States and abroad. Through lectures, discussion groups, newsletters, and social events, the JLSA seeks to educate and inform students, faculty, and the community at large. The JLSA also furnishes the latest literature on legal, political, cultural, and religious topics relevant to the Jewish law student. JLSA and The Guild of Catholic Lawyers co-sponsor a Model Seder for the entire law school community.
