76TH ANNUAL CLEARWATER BAR OYSTER ROAST [MARCH 28, 2015]

The 76th Annual Clearwater Bar Oyster Roast has invited FIU Law students to participate in this volunteer opportunity for students that may be interested in practicing in the Clearwater/Pinellas County area and want to network and meet potential employers, colleagues and judges.

The Oyster Roast is an event held annually by the Clearwater Bar Association where local attorneys and judges put aside the adversarial process, “kick off their shoes,” and enjoy food and drinks from local vendors.  In addition to being a great time, it can be a unique opportunity for law students to socialize with practicing attorneys and judges.
