The bar association teamed up with Goodwill Industries of Michiana Inc. to put on the used suit drive, promoting the event with the slogan “Help balance the scale … put your suits on Goodwill’s Bar.” Collection boxes were distributed to the courthouses and law firms on April 3. The drive ended May 3.
Amy McGuire, executive director of the SJCBA, said she was impressed by the quality of donations received and the suit drive could become an annual event.
