Barrister's Ball

Barrister's Ball is an event run by the Student Bar Association in the Spring semester of each year. It is a formal-wear dance held in the Williamsburg area, with multiple open-bars and food.

Typically, the Student Bar Association will sell tickets a few weeks before the event, by tabling in the front lobby or setting up a Paypal account on the Student Bar Association Website.

Tickets in recent years are sold in two tiers: drinking and non-drinking. Drinking tickets cover unlimited drinks and food, as well as admission. Drinking tickets are typically sold for for a few weeks before the event, and the ticket price rises as the event gets closer. Non-drinking tickets cover unlimited food, non-alcoholic drinks and admission into the event. Prices may fluctuate based on the hotel reserved, number of overall tickets sold, Paypal fees, etc.

Since Barrister's Ball is usually at or near a hotel, the Student Bar Association helps acquire special reducded prices for a number of hotel rooms at that hotel.

For 2011, Barrister's ball was held on March 19th, at Ford's Colony.
