The Milwaukee, Wisconsin based trial and litigation law firm, Gimbel, Reilly, Guerin & Brown, LLP has announced that it will be sponsoring the 21st Evening of Hope, the ALS Association-Wisconsin Chapter’s annual black tie gala to raise funds for ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) research. The event, which began in 1993, will be held on March 8, 2014 at the Hyatt Regency in Milwaukee. The Evening of Hope planning committee anticipates over 700 people will attend the event featuring silent and voice auctions, dinner, speakers and dancing.

The 21th will feature special guest speaker, Emmy-winning CNN anchor, Suzanne Malveaux. Malveaux will share how ALS has personally touched her and her family, and specifically, how the disease has affected her mother, Myrna Malveaux, who has battled ALS for over two years. In July of 2013, Suzanne featured a special series on CNN to draw attention to the debilitating effects of the disease and share her family’s personal battle.

The Evening of Hope was the brainchild of Jeff Kaufman, a former partner of GRGB, who succumbed to ALS in March 2010. Kaufman, who battled the disease for 21 years (80% of those with ALS die with five years of diagnosis), led the charge in raising funds for ALS research along with his wife Jan, working tirelessly to organize and plan the Evening of Hope event.

The lawyers and staff at GRGB have been a part of the Evening of Hope since the event’s inception in 1993. “The GRGB family has been on the front lines in fighting for a cure since Jeff was diagnosed. We fought alongside him during his long and courageous battle, and now we fight in his memory,” notes Kathryn Keppel, partner at GRGB and President of the ALS Association-Wisconsin Chapter.

Attendance for this special event is limited; visit www.beatals.org for registration information.

The Milwaukee, Wisconsin based trial and litigation law firm, Gimbel, Reilly, Guerin & Brown, LLP is proud to announce that two of their attorneys, Jason Luczak and another GRGB attorney are serving as team coaches for one of Marquette University’s (MU) Moot Court teams.

The National Moot Court Competition is one of nation’s oldest and most respected competitions. The event is co-sponsored by the New York City Bar Association and the American College of Trial Lawyers. This year’s regional events, which take place across the country in the month November, featured over 190 teams from 124 law schools. Only 30 of those teams will advance to the New York City finals, which are held in the House of the historic New York City Bar Association.

“It is a thrill to work with such skilled student lawyers,” Notes Luczak. “The maturity and growth they showed not only in preparation for the regional event, but also during competition were remarkable. I look forward to seeing their continued skill development as we prepare for competition in New York.”

Both GRGB attorneys were involved in Moot Court Competitions while in law school and understand the value of this type of competition “Moot court is an excellent way to start honing your skills and developing your style as a future attorney. These competitions really help prepare future litigators to face actual courtroom experiences,” Luczak states.

During the National Moot Court Competition Finals, the student attorneys will have the prestigious honor of arguing before prominent members of the legal profession. “Making it to the finals in this competition is a phenomenal accomplishment,” Luczak adds. “The experiences these students gain through the event are sure to be a huge benefit as they move into their professional careers,” he concludes.
