Barristers’ Ball
The Wolverine Bar Association and the Wolverine Bar Foundation hosted the 63rd Annual Barristers’ Ball on Saturday, April 26. This year’s ball, titled “DET Gala” as a twist on the MET Gala, took place at Michigan Central Station in Detroit. Among those sporting their formal wear for the event were (left to right) Wolverine Board Member Eric Mathis, Wolverine Immediate Past President Diane Hutcherson of The Auto Club Group, Wolverine President Robbie J. Gaines of Gaines Law, Barristers’ Ball Co-Chair Alexis Smith-Scott of Bodman PLC, and Barristers’ Ball master of ceremonies Josh Landon of FOX 2 Detroit. Every year, more than 1,500 leaders from the legal, business, education, civic and political communities attend the Barristers’ Ball to celebrate the best of the Southeastern Michigan Community. Proceeds from the annual Barristers’ Ball support the Wolverine Bar Association’s and Wolverine Bar Foundation’s student externships, internships, scholarships, education courses, and mentoring; as well as, legal information, and representation for the underrepresented.
