The 15^th annual Valparaiso University School of Law Clinic Benefit will be held on Friday, February 26, 2010, at the Valparaiso University Harre Union Ballroom.  This year’s play adaptation is Our Heritage:  A Musical “Revue”.

The Benefit kicks off with a champagne reception at six in the evening, followed by dinner at seven with the performance to follow.   Tickets to this performance cost $100.00, with 70 percent of each ticket going directly to support the Valpo Law Clinics.  The remaining cost of the ticket price is to pay for the dinner.

This year’s production is directed by Piper Bakrevski, music  direction by Chris Stalbaum, and co-produced by Bruce Berner and Laura Dooley, starring students, staff, alumni, and faculty, including Civil Clinic professor Marcia Gienapp, and will have the usual Benefit adjustments for time and to add some law-related humor.

Valpo Law currently has eight clinics, which are designed to provide free legal services to disadvantaged members of the community.  The Clinics provide services in the following areas:  Civil law, Criminal law, Juvenile law, Sports law, Tax law, Domestic Violence, Mediation and Wrongful Conviction.

There is an additional free performance open to students and staff on Thursday, February 25, 7:30 p.m.  No tickets are required.   Both shows are in the ballroom of the new Harre Union.
