Join the Law Club!
Uncle Sam Wants You in the Law Club ...
The Law Club was founded on April 10, 1914 as a "club of younger lawyers desiring to organize a homogenous group which would meet systematically to discuss questions helpful in law practice." They were serious and probably not a lot of fun. Four months later, the First World War broke out. We deny that we caused that in any manner.
In 1939, a group of Law Club members "attempted to to amuse those present at the first day's luncheon of the Colorado Bar Association," and things pretty much went downhill from there. Law Club shows became a tradition at CBA annual meetings beginning in the 1950s, continuing until the annual meetings themselves were discontinued in 2000. We deny that we caused that in any manner.
Active membership in the Law Club is open to law students and attorneys under the age of 107. That was raised some years ago from 45. Upon reaching 45, members become associate (aka "over the hill") members, but now may still be officers. So basically there's no difference.
Musical talent is desirable, but not required. While all of our performers are characters, many of our performers are primarily featured character actors, singing quietly in the chorus numbers.
Our list of over-the-hill members includes an impressive number of well known attorneys and judges, most of whom will deny any affiliation with the organization if asked. The way you can tell that an important person is a member of the Law Club is by their immediate, emphatic denial. This is our secret method of identifying each other.
We encourage new younger members. We are all about mentoring and networking.
Inquiries about membership may be made to any active member, or to the membership chairperson, who is also the president, vice-president, secretary, etc., and can be reached at thelawclub1914@gmail.com. That email is subject to change, depending on how frequently this page gets updated. Further information may be found at the Club's web site at LawClub.org.
That's right here, in case you haven't figured that out yet.
