Sadly, there will be a Lex Fugit "Guild" update soon. We have lost more members.
Therefore, before it gets later than it already is, it is the plan of the Lex Fugiteers to host a party on Wednesday, November 24, 2021 at Jacoby's on Brush St. in Detroit, though we haven't yet put down a deposit.
Opening in 1904, Jacobys will make us all feel young. A lawyers' bar, a free lunch at Jacoby's was part of a case evaluator's (then called mediator's) pay when the Mediation Tribunal was at the Millender Center.
The night before Thanksgiving is the biggest bar night of the year, with a Wings game and the parade prep going on downtown.
The hope is that we are all vaccinated by then and group events are back by then.
The hope is that Jacoby's makes it through the next 11 months and remains open. It must have survived he 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, right?
The plan is that legal types (lawyers, judges, clerks , court reporters etc.) of all ages and vintages will gather to reacquaint, reconnect, and reminisce (pronounced "re-minisce" for alliterative purposes).
The plan is: no agenda, no sponsors, no program, no speakers, no awards, no faux-wards, no promotions, no fundraising.
Jacoby's second floor holds 75. We plan to fill it.
Save the date-we hope.
