The Atlanta Bar Association celebrated its 125th anniversary with a gala lunch at the Piedmont Driving Club on Tuesday that featured a visit from the president-elect of the American Bar Association, a short documentary of its history, a Champagne toast and even a commemorative bottle of wine as a souvenir.
ABA president-elect William Hubbard, a partner at Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough in Columbia, S.C., treated the 350 bar members and guests to a short history of their bar, which was organized on April 28, 1888, by a group of about 100 lawyers at the Fulton County Courthouse.
