2020 REDDING GALA POSTPONED DUE TO COVID-19
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Delaware Barristers Association Executive Board has decided to postpone the upcoming Louis L. Redding Gala to November 2021.
Despite the postponement of the 2020 Gala, The Delaware Barristers Association is committed to its scholars and we are excited to share that we will be awarding a bar scholarship for fees associated with sitting for the bar exam.
Many thanks to all of you for your continued support of this event.
Be well,
