A Rockin' Good Time for Legal Aid

July 21, 2011 - PRLog -- What:  Seven bands—all comprised of Dallas-area lawyers and judges—will take the stage in the ultimate pro bono rock concert to raise awareness for legal assistance for low-income residents of Dallas County. Attorneys by day, and band members by night, these 7 rock bands will play back-to-back at LAW JAM 3, a benefit concert for pro bono legal aid.

The public is invited to join hundreds of lawyers who will attend the event.

“The most fun place to be in Dallas, Texas, on August 20, 2011 will be the Granada Theater, where the coolest lawyer bands in the state—Big Wheel, Black Dirt Tango, Blue Collar Crime, The Catdaddies, Texas Rock Association, The Usuals and the Wrecking Crew—will be rockin’ for pro bono,” said DBA President Barry Sorrels. “This event raises money for the Dallas Volunteer Attorney Program, which provides legal services to the poor. So put on your t-shirts and jeans and get ready to party!”

All proceeds will benefit the Dallas Volunteer Attorney Program, a joint initiative of the Dallas Bar Association and Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas, which assists approximately 3,475 families per year. In addition, a silent auction will be available.
