Bench Bar Week.

The middle week of June. The courthouse corridors have been empty. It is the week of the Allegheny County Bar Association’s Bench Bar Conference. This experience has been an annual event for a generation, always at Seven Springs. It is the time and place where lawyers get to do one of their favorite things from dawn to early in the morning — schmooze.

It is the time and place when old friends who haven’t seen each other for too long (except in an occasional elevator) reminisce and get misty-eyed. This is the venue where you find out that your judge in that case years ago, the one you thought never had a clue, actually did. And it is the forge whereupon the bonds are created, link by link, that make the members of the Allegheny County Bar so exceptional.

Too bad I was too busy to go. Maybe next year!
