On Saturday, February 1^st, Barran Liebman attended and served as the King Pins sponsor for the 18^th annual Multnomah Bar Association (MBA) WinterSmash. In support of Multnomah CourtCare, this event raises money to provide free drop-in childcare for families while they tend to business at the court. In addition to providing children a safe space away from potential conflicts, the CourtCare program’s convenient location at the downtown Central Courthouse helps to reduce the number of rescheduled court appointments. With the ability to serve 80 to 100 children each month, the organization has served over 17,000 families since opening in December of 2001.  According to Barran Liebman’s Co-Managing Partner, Ed Harnden, “Barran Liebman has enjoyed sponsoring this sold-out event for many years, and is proud of the remarkable $18,000 the legal community raised for Multnomah CourtCare this year.”
