✨ CCLA IS MORE THAN THE BALL! ✨

Yes, the Black Lawyers Ball is right around the corner, and we’re excited to celebrate 35 years of CCLA! 💚💎 But even with Ball season in full swing, we haven’t forgotten what CCLA is all about: building relationships, strengthening our legal community, and creating opportunities to connect beyond the courtroom.

That’s why we’re making time to bring our members together! 🤝🏾 Join us THIS FRIDAY, October 16, for our CCLA Member Social! 🥂

📅 Friday, October 16, 2026
⏰ 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
📍 Urban Oak | Raleigh, NC

Whether you’ve been a member for years or are looking to get more involved, come hang out, meet the CCLA Board, learn more about our organization, and connect with fellow members. Great conversations can lead to great collaborations—and stronger community starts with showing up!

💚 This will likely be our final social of CCLA’s 35th Anniversary year, so let’s make it count! Don’t let the Ball excitement distract you from the relationships and community that make CCLA special.

✨ Connect. Collaborate. Celebrate.

We can’t wait to see you Friday! Tag a CCLA member who needs to be there! 👇🏾
