Advocates Society's
Annual Judges Night
at the Polish Museum of America
Co-hosted with the Polish American Judges Association
Join us for one of the Advocates Society’s most anticipated traditions — the Annual Judges Night.
For decades, the Advocates Society has brought together sitting judges, Society members, and members of the broader legal and Polish communities for a truly special evening. This is not your typical legal event — there are no long speeches, no formal program, and no assigned seating. Instead, Judges Night is all about meaningful conversations, reconnecting with colleagues, and enjoying great company in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
Guests can enjoy delicious Polish cuisine, an open bar, and a welcoming atmosphere that encourages meaningful connections between judges, attorneys, and members of the legal community.
Whether you're a long-time member or new to the Advocates, this is a must attend event — one that captures the spirit of community, camaraderie, and celebration.
Mark your calendars and stay tuned! More details will follow!
