Save the Date: July 17th NBMB Bastille Day Party

All criminal defense lawyers and staffers, their families, friends and fellow-travelers are invited to the Nevin, Benjamin, McKay and Bartlett LLP Fourth Annual Bastille Day Party.

FYI: The Bastille Prison was the hated symbol of the power of the French monarchs, who could imprison people without a trial, for as long as they wished. (Imagine living in a country like that!) On 14 July, 1789, the people of Paris stormed the Bastille, obtaining ammunition and freeing prisoners. (OK- there were only seven prisoners and some gunpowder, but still!) Today, Bastille Day is a celebration of liberty, democracy, and the struggle against governmental oppression.

Friday July 17, 2009 from 4:30 - 8:30.
303 West Bannock St., Boise, Idaho
