The Desert Bar Association (DBA) presented The 38th Annual Bird Awards and Distinguished Judges Night on June 27, 2015. Each year, the DBA produces a show that satirizes in a “tongue-in-cheek” and “foot-in-mouth” manner the legal practice of law by various members of the DBA, allowing the legal community to essentially roast itself. This year’s show was INDIO’s GOT TALENT, an uproarious parody of America’s Got Talent, showcasing local “talent” – both real and imagined – within the legal community.
The attendees enjoyed cocktails and dinner & show at Sun City Palm Desert’s Mountain View Clubhouse in Palm Desert.
