Fall Soirée, Nov. 7, 2001
Drawing more than 150 DBA members, the annual Fall Soirée was a success. Attendees enjoyed socializing and networking over Maggianos’ food and drink. Information about member benefits was also available during this happy hour party.

Every year, YLD collects gently-used suits at the Denver City and County Building to donate to organizations that outfit indigent people going into the work force. This year, YLD collected over 100 pieces of clothing for men, which were donated to the Men at Work Suit Closet in connection with Denver Works. YLD also collected over 250 articles of women’s clothing, which were donated to Wishing Well Enterprises. Thanks for all of your donations!

A Capital Evening Barristers Benefit Ball Sat., April 27, 2002
Lambs Win Championship for 11th Time in 21 Years
This past season was perhaps one of the finest in league history. The league featured 10 teams composed of lawyers and law students. The Hall & Evans crew, resurrected as “XHE” (ex-Hall & Evans’ guys), posted a 5-3 record; and in the semi-finals for this year’s league championship, lost by the close score of 19-18 to its old nemesis the “Lambs.” In the finals, the “Lambs” won the championship and collected the Madden Trophy by defeating “Collateral Attack,” 21-14. Dan Reilly, the “Lambs’” quarterback, threw the winning touchdown in the game’s waning seconds. The DBA Lawyer’s Football League was born in 1968. Each year the league’s champion is awarded the Madden Trophy in tribute to its founder, John Madden III. In 1981, Tim Lamb and fellow law students Charles “Charley” Greenhouse and Dan Reilly put together a football team and called themselves the “Lambs.” —Judge Al Harrell Back | ||||||||||
