The Advocates Society of Polish American Lawyers will hold its Summer Reception and Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, August 28, beginning at 5:00 p.m. with a cocktail and appetizer reception at the Cerise Rooftop Bar, 203 North Wabash, 26th Floor.

Cook County Circuit Court Judge Diann K. Marsalek, the Supervising Judge of the Traffic Division, and Associate Judge Mark J.

Tickets for the event are $85 each, if purchased by August 25. Limited tickets may be available at the door, but will cost $100 each. Sponsorship opportunities are available.

For more information about the event, to reserve tickets, or to explore sponsorship opportunities, call Advocates President Kristen Kozlowski Lyons at (773) 610-4175 or email her at attorneykristen@gmail.com.

The Advocates are also co-sponsoring two August events with The Decalogue Society of Lawyers.

First up, on Wednesday, August 8, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., is a social at Bar Louie, 333 N. Dearborn. Quoting now from this month's Decalogue News, "We will not rest until we have a relaxing informal social event at a local watering hole with every local bar association. Our last social with Black Women Lawyers' Association was a huge hit with all attendees. * * * Bar Louie will run individual tabs for everyone."

Then, on Thursday, August 16, at noon, the Advocates and the Decalogue Society, in conjunction with the American Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists and the Chicago Loop Synagogue, will sponsor a talk by Michael Traison on the status of Poland, Law and the Jewish Community. The event will be held at the Chicago Loop Synagogue, 16 S. Clark Street. Tickets are $15 each and the cost includes lunch from the Sandwich Club.
