LUNCH AND LAUGHS WITH A LEGAL LEGEND On November 2, the Lunch and Laughs with a Legal Legend event was held at the Erickson Alumni Center in Morgantown. West Virginia University College of Law Dean Emeritus graciously agreed to serve as the honoree for this “friendly roast” that generated almost $15,000 for Law School student scholarships and Bar Foundation grants to improve the administration of justice. Pictured above, from left to right, are former WVU President Neil Buckelew and the speakers at the Lunch—College of Law Associate Dean John Taylor, WVU President Emeritus and Professor of Law David Hardesty, Jr., Dean Fisher, former WVU President and WVU College of Law Dean and current President of The Ohio State University, Gordon Gee and current WVU President James Clements. The stories were funny, the jokes were humorous and Dean Fisher’s rebuttal was excellent. More than 120 judges, lawyers, community leaders and colleagues enjoyed this beneficial annual event. It was a Good Time for a Good Cause!
