NU, Niagara County Bar Association Form Niagara Law Center
On May 1 – Law Day – the provost of Niagara University and the president of the Bar Association of Niagara County met at the Niagara Falls Country Club to officially establish the long-awaited Niagara Law Center.
Dozens of local judges, lawyers and court staff were in attendance for the Bar Association’s Annual Law Day Luncheon, which provided the ideal backdrop for the ceremonial signing of the cooperation agreement made between the university and the bar association.
While the May 1 signing between Mosher and Niagara University Provost Dr. Timothy Downs made the formation of the Niagara Law Center official, the collaboration had already been operating since earlier in the year. In March, the NLC hosted its first Continuing Legal Education course on the university campus, bringing lawyers and jurists – including the Niagara County district attorney – to a six-hour Criminal Procedure Practicum.
