Northern District of Ohio
Bill of Rights Birthday Party
In what has become a tradition for the FBA Northern District of Ohio Chapter, the Civics Committee of the FBA-NDOC visited the third-grade class at Cleveland International Elementary School to celebrate the December 15th birthday of the Bill of Rights. The organizers of the event were Matthew Gurbach and Warren McClurg, the Chapter’s Civics Committee co-chairs, and presenters were Judge Philip Calabrese of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Judge Emily Hagan of the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, and Jim Satola, a Law Clerk to Senior Judge Donald Nugent of the U.S. District Court.
The program format was a free-range presentation of the various amendments of the Bill of Rights with very active Q&A from the third-grade class… and ending, as always, with birthday cupcakes provided by the FBA-NDOC!
