"Battle of the Barristers" Helps Kids Go to Summer Camp

The 2012 Battle of the Barristers (BOTB) Softball Tournament is a fun, all-day event that helps city kids go to rural summer camp. The Battle of the Barristers Tournament will take place on Tuesday. 

Preliminary division games will begin at 1:30 p.m. at Brookdale Park, followed by a Championship game at 6:30pm at Yogi Berra Stadium on the Montclair State University campus.  Admission is free with an all-you-can-eat BBQ from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Gates open from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. All teams and their guests are encouraged to attend the Championship game and the post-game party.

Event organizers said last year’s tournament made it possible for over 400 children to attend summer camp. This year, they hope to surpass that number.

The tournament is comprised of attorneys from at least a dozen Essex County, New Jersey law firms. This year’s tournament Chairs are Angelo J. Genova, Esq. and Douglas E. Solomon, Esq. from the Newark-based firm Genova Burns Giantomasi & Webster.

Rain date for the event is Wednesday, July 18..
