The Bar Foundation Board of Directors is pleased to announce the 10th Annual Lunch and Laughs With Legal Legends honoring Ellie and Ed Flowers, two true legends in West Virginia’s legal profession and judiciary.
The event will be held on Friday, October 23, 2020, from 12:00 Noon to 1:00 PM and will be held virtually because of COVID-19 virus pandemic restrictions.
Ellie served as the Assistant Dean for Career Services at the WVU College of Law for more than 20 years where she advised and guided thousands of judges and lawyers as they began their careers in the legal profession and the judicial system.
Ed held leadership positions in our state as a practicing lawyer, a top state government official, a Supreme Court Justice, a U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge and a WVU Vice President.
The Flowers have selected the Black Law Students Association and the Career Services Center at the WVU College of Law to receive the net proceeds from the Lunch and Laughs in combination with the Bar Foundation grants program.
The presenters for this “friendly roast” will be WVU President Gordon Gee, WVU Law School Professor Emeritus Jack Bowman and Dr. Carroll Morrison, former WVU College of Law official. Bar Foundation Immediate Past President Ellen Cappellanti (Charleston) will serve as the Master of Ceremonies and Bar Foundation President Chip Shaffer (Madison) will provide welcoming remarks.
