Porzio, Bromberg & Newman in Morristown recently hosted a virtual Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day. Since so many parents are working from home with their children, the firm still wanted to keep its tradition of hosting activities for kids. The event was held on April 23 in two sessions divided by age. The day included a facilitated discussion on gratitude, where the kids discussed what they were thankful for, according to a firm release. Then the children made signs and pictures, and participated in a virtual scavenger hunt to find items around the house.

Law Firm Hosts Free 'Law Day' Webinar for High School and College Students Garry R. Salomon

In honor of Law Day, personal injury law firm Davis, Saperstein & Salomon in Teaneck hosted its fourth annual "Student Law Day" seminar on May 1 beginning at 3 p.m. The event was open to all high school and college students interested in pursuing a career in law. The free one-hour seminar was hosted online as a webinar. Among those speaking were recent graduates, a working paralegal who also attends law school, and a current Superior Court judge, according to a release from the firm. A wide variety of information was discussed pertaining to law school preparation and admission, LSAT testing, and what it is like to practice in today's society, the firm said. Attendees were given the opportunity to ask questions at the conclusion of the webinar. The seminar was also sponsored by the Teaneck Bar Association. Firm managing partner Garry R. Salomon said in a statement, "Our firm feels so fortunate to be in a position to be able to support the next generation of lawyers, help them get started in the profession, and build their leadership skills." Salomon added that students should not be discouraged by the uncertainty of the current crisis and should continue toward their goals. "We want to inspire these students and let them know that even though we're in the midst of an extraordinary event, it is still possible to move forward with their dreams, and we will help them get there." Law Day was enacted in 1958 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower as a way to honor the law and the legal profession. The idea was first advocated by the American Bar Association in 1957.
