2005 Minority Mentoring Picnic

On Saturday, October 1, 2005 Miami-Dade Justice Association members, along with Florida Bar President Alan Bookman, and many members of our Federal, District, Circuit and County judiciary joined the festivities at Amelia Earhart Park in Hialeah to welcome minority law students from all over the state. The event, spearheaded by Miami-Dade Justice Association member, John Koyzak, and sponsored by local and state-wide bar organizations, including Miami-Dade Justice Association, evidenced a true showing of solidarity among Florida lawyers. Guests enjoyed good food, great music, a volley ball game, pony rides, face painting and more and were not put off by the occasional down-pour typical of South Florida in October. Law students came out in numbers, met fine mentors and were genuinely happy and appreciative of the opportunity, even though they were all going home that evening to study for finals. We applaud John Koyzak for what will undoubtedly become an event to look forward to year after year. Thank you Miami-Dade Justice Association members for your support and thank you, John Koyzak, for giving us the opportunity to participate in this event.

 

The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely on advertising. Before you decide, ask to be sent free written information about the qualifications and experience of your prospective lawyer.
