Here is a polished, website-ready news article highlighting the feature in Attorney at Law Magazine while elevating CCLA’s brand and tying into your 35th anniversary:
Black Lawyers Ball Recognized for Scholarship Impact
The Capital City Lawyers Association (CCLA) is proud to be featured in the latest issue of Attorney at Law Magazine – North Carolina Triangle (Vol. 13, No. 6), highlighting the impact and continued growth of our signature event, the Black Lawyers Ball.
The publication spotlights CCLA’s Annual Scholarship Gala—affectionately known as the Black Lawyers Ball—as a cornerstone event that brings together the legal community in celebration of excellence, service, and purpose.
A Night of Celebration with Lasting Impact
As highlighted in the article, the Black Lawyers Ball continues to serve as more than just an evening of elegance and connection. The event plays a critical role in supporting CCLA’s scholarship initiatives, raising over $12,000 to benefit aspiring law students.
These funds directly support students who are committed to practicing in the Triangle area and using their legal training to serve low-income and traditionally underserved communities. The scholarships help offset key financial barriers, including bar exam expenses, law school materials, and transitional support for unpaid legal positions.
A Signature Event for the Legal Community
The article also highlights the strong turnout and continued demand for the Black Lawyers Ball, noting a sold-out crowd of over 400 attendees. Attorneys, judges, law students, and community leaders gather each year not only to celebrate but to invest in the future of the profession.
The visual spread in the publication captures the energy and elegance of the evening—featuring attendees in formal attire, moments of connection, and the vibrant community that defines CCLA.
Celebrating 35 Years of CCLA
This recognition comes at a particularly meaningful time as CCLA celebrates its 35th Anniversary in 2026. For more than three decades, the organization has remained committed to advancing diversity in the legal profession, supporting the next generation of attorneys, and fostering a strong, connected legal community in Wake County and beyond.
The feature in Attorney at Law Magazine is a testament to the continued growth and impact of CCLA and its members.
Looking Ahead
As we build on this momentum, CCLA remains focused on expanding its scholarship programs, strengthening community engagement, and continuing to host impactful events throughout the year—including the highly anticipated 2026 Jade Anniversary Black Lawyers Ball.
We thank our members, sponsors, and community partners who make this work possible.
