Download the 2026 Gala Program

The Law & Society Gala is the premier black-tie event celebrating the intersection of legal excellence and community service in Mecklenburg County. This evening brings together attorneys, judges, community leaders, and supporters for a night of camaraderie, recognition, and philanthropy.

Guests will enjoy an elegant evening of dining and dancing. The gala starts with a cocktail reception followed by dinner and an awards presentation honoring individuals and organizations making significant contributions to the legal profession and the community. Following the dinner, guests will be invited to the dance floor to close out the evening.

Funds raised support scholarships, pro bono legal services, and other programs that strengthen access to justice and promote the Foundation's mission of advancing the legal profession's service to the community.

Whether you're a member of the legal community or a supporter of justice and equity, the Law & Society Gala is an evening not to be missed. Join us in celebrating excellence, fostering connection, and making a meaningful impact in our community.

Together, we can make a difference. Proceeds from the Gala help ensure that justice is accessible to all and that our legal community continues to serve as a cornerstone of equity and opportunity in Mecklenburg County.
