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

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.
