Huntington, N.Y. – The Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center is holding its annual Barristers’ Ball on Saturday, February 26, from 7 p.m. to midnight at the Long Island Marriott Hotel and Conference Center in Uniondale, N.Y. The event is sponsored by the Touro Law Student Bar Association and is open to the whole Long Island legal community.

“The dance will be a great opportunity for local law firms and businesses to meet and network with the next generation of Long Island attorneys,” said Spencer Horn, president of the Touro Law Student Bar Association. Call (631) 421-2244 ext. 405 for further details.

There will be a live band. Hors d’oeuvres and dinner will be served. Black-tie is optional. Tickets are $75 per person. Companies can purchase tables of 12 for $1000 and will receive priority seating and podium acknowledgement. Attendees wishing to reserve a room at the Long Island Marriott should call (516) 794-3800 and mention Touro Law School to access the negotiated group reduced rate.

One of just a handful of law schools nationwide with a pro-bono service requirement for its graduates, Touro Law School welcomed a record-setting entering class this year. Selectivity and test scores for the 24-year-old Huntington institution are at all-time high. Touro is currently undertaking a bold, multi-million-dollar strategic plan that includes a cutting-edge new curriculum and a move to a new home in Central Islip by fall 2006, adjacent to and working with state and federal courts. This modern “law campus” will be the first of its kind anywhere and a national model. For more information about Touro Law School’s full- and part-time academic programs, call (631) 421-2244.
