2008 Barrister's Ball

The Ninth Annual Barrister’s Ball will be held on March 14th at the Gaia Arts Center in Downtown Berkeley. The Casino themed Ball provides a night of entertainment, food and wine for the Boalt community to fundraise for the Herma Hill Kay Fellowships.

Professor Kay was the first woman to hold the position of Dean at Boalt Hall and continues to teach here today.  Inspired by Professor Kay’s impressive legacy in the area of women’s rights, the students of the Boalt Hall Women’s Association created a fellowship in her name in 1999.  The recipients of the fellowship are chosen for their potential to develop and implement a broad range of legal work on behalf of women in numerous communities.  This fellowship offers students the flexibility to use their creative talents and initiative to develop original projects.  Last year’s fellows assisted domestic violence survivors, advocated for immigrant children in need, and traveled to South Africa to provide legal support for female refugees.
