Event Type 2: Food & Drink

The FBA regularly sponsors “Brown Bag” lunches with Judges from all branches of our local U.S. District Courts.  Magistrate Judge Rachel E. Schwartz has graciously made herself available for a “Brown Bag” on May 20, 2025 and looks forward to having lunch with members of our local bar.  Conversation is open to any questions you may have about our federal courts or federal practice.  The lunches are a great opportunity to meet local colleagues, interface with a U.S. District Court Judge and learn more about federal practice.

Space is limited to 12 attendees on a first come first served basis.

LOCATION: Frank Carlson Federal Building (exact location in the building to be announced), 444 SE Quincy St # 490, Topeka, KS 66683

Hues of pink are back in style. This historically misunderstood wine has returned to its rightful place, at the pool, at the beach and on the brunch, lunch and dinner table. Whether you rosé or bro-sé, this completely refreshing, highly quaffable “summer-in-a-glass” has something for everyone.

When: May 22, 5:00pm – 6:00pm
Where: Stevens & Brand LLP, 900 Massachusetts St, Suite 500, Lawrence, KS 66044

There will be a selection of Rosés from Provence, France and New World wines from California and Willamette Valley.

There will also be snacks paired with the wines such as hummus, fresh fruit, cheeses, cured meats and more.
