The theme for the 2019 Conference of Bar Presidents
themed Reception and Dinner is:

Have you ever...
😱 arrived at court & forgot your briefcase
😱 saw a ghost
😱 lost all of your teeth
…but then woke up & realized it was all just a dream...
& thought that is MY WORST NIGHTMARE?!?!?
On Friday, October 25th, come dressed as your worst nightmare and scare the night away.
Costumes will be judged based on both creativity and execution.
