The GBA is sponsoring a trip to the US Supreme Court November 28 for a group admission.  We are limited to 12 applicants as we are going on an argument day for the Court.

This is an EBGTW (early bird gets the worm—first come first served) process.  We’ll have hard copy applications at the January 21 bar meeting, or you can download the forms from the Supreme Court website at www.supremecourt.gov.  Bring or send your completed application (including certificate of good standing and check) to the superior court judges’ chambers on the fourth floor of the Guilford County Courthouse.  Judges Susan Bray and Patrice Hinnant are leading the trip.

On the last trip, we also had a reception at the Court, a visit to Howard Coble’s office and lunch at the Congressional dining hall.  Howard set this up for us.  We are confident that Alma Adams and Mark Walker will assist us in something similar for this trip.

You are responsible for your own transportation and lodging.  Please keep in mind that November 28 is the Monday after Thanksgiving.
