    Good morning Family Law Section members,

    On Thursday, Feb. 25, the Minorities in the Profession Section of the New Jersey State Bar Association will hold the 2021 Black History Month Celebration from 6 to 8:30 p.m. via Zoom.

    We invite you to register for this exciting event that will feature:
    • Keynote address by The Honorable Avion Benjamin, J.S.C.
    • Trivia contest featuring 2021 essay winners
    • Virtual Art Exhibit by Anthony Gartmond
    • Music by the Trenton High School Orchestra
    • Award presentations and acknowledgments
    The essay and trivia contests provide a forum for the students to showcase their knowledge and writing skills. Students were asked to submit an essay answering these three questions:
    A. Why was Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 originally passed into law?
    B. What has been its impact?
    C. Should it be changed? Why or why not and if so, how?

    The art exhibit features the work of former Assistant Prosecutor Anthony Gartmond. Visit the virtual art exhibit here. Read more about Mr. Gartmond here.

    This is a free event.
