ISIAL schedules annual brunch
Clad in their Irish finery with matching shamrock ties and socks, members of the Incorporated Society of Irish-American Lawyers will host their 15th annual St. Patrick’s Day Brunch on Sunday March 13 at Mario’s Restaurant in Detroit.
The event will feature Irish musical entertainment, Irish folklore and snappy commentary from co-hosts Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Riordan and former state Senator Bruce Patterson.
Organizers say there will be great food, entertainment, camaraderie and plenty of jokes and musings from federal, state and local political leaders, federal and state judges, Detroit area Irish-American lawyers as well as other dignitaries and guests.
The brunch is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mario’s is located at 4222 Second Avenue in the mid-town area.
The event will end just before the start of the St. Patrick’s Day parade down Michigan Ave. in Corktown. Shuttles to the parade will be provided for a small fee.
Tickets for the brunch are $30 for adults; $28 for law student members; and $10 for children under 12 if reserved in advance.
Otherwise, tickets can be purchased at the door but will be $35 for adults.
Tickets can be ordered or reserved by contacting ISIAL at 586.468.2940, or by sending a check made out to ISIAL to: ISIAL c/o Macomb County Bar Assoc. 40 N. Main, Suite 435, Mt. Clemens, 48043.

Several charges against former judge tossed out
DETROIT (AP) — Three of four perjury-related charges against a former judge stemming from a 2005 drug trial have been dismissed.
The Detroit Free Press reports the decision was made recently in the case of former Wayne County Circuit Judge Mary Waterstone.
The judge in her case also ruled that Waterstone will be allowed to present evidence related to the remaining felony count to explain why she allowed the testimony.
Waterstone is accused of allowing perjured testimony at the major cocaine trial. She says she was protecting the safety of a paid police informant.
A former prosecutor and two Inkster officers also are charged in the case.
Law firm sues Prince for $700K in legal fees
NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City law firm says Prince owes more than $700,000 in legal fees for services that included helping to settle financial obligations to his former wife.
The firm is suing the “Purple Rain” singer in state Supreme Court in Manhattan.
Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler says in a lawsuit filed Tuesday the musician failed to pay it for handling cases in Ireland, California and New York.
The law firm also says it wasn’t paid for representing him in his divorce. It says he has paid $125,000.
A telephone call to Prince’s Paisley Park Enterprises Inc. in Minnesota went unanswered Tuesday night.
The 52-year-old singer is best known for 1980s hits such as “When Doves Cry” and “1999.” His full name is Prince Rogers Nelson.
