DESCRIPTION:Nominations Open for Major State Bar Awards; Deadline is Feb. 19\nClick on listed awards for more information \n\n\n \nNominations are now open for major State Bar of Michigan awards that will be presented at the September 2016 Annual Meeting in Grand Rapids. \nThe Roberts P. Hudson Award goes to a person whose career has exemplified the highest ideals of the profession. This award is presented periodically to commend one or more lawyers for their unselfish rendering of outstanding and unique service to and on behalf of the State Bar\, given generously\, ungrudgingly\, and in a spirit of self-sacrifice. It is awarded to that member of the State Bar of Michigan who best exemplifies that which brings honor\, esteem and respect to the legal profession. The Hudson Award is the highest award conferred by the Bar. \nThe Frank J. Kelley Distinguished Public Service Award recognizes extraordinary governmental service by a Michigan attorney holding elected or appointed office. Created by the Board of Commissioners in 1998\, it was first awarded to Frank J. Kelley for his record-setting tenure as Michigan’s chief lawyer. \nThe Champion of Justice Award is given for extraordinary individual accomplishments or for devotion to a cause. No more than five awards are given each year to practicing lawyers and judges who have made a significant contribution to their community\, state\, and/or the nation. \nThe Kimberly M. Cahill Bar Leadership Award was established in memory of the 2006-07 SBM president\, who passed away in January 2008. This award will be presented to a recognized local or affinity bar association\, program or leader for excellence in promoting the ideal of professionalism or equal justice for all\, or in responding to a compelling legal need within the community during the past year or on an ongoing basis. \nThe John W. Cummiskey Pro Bono Award\, named after a Grand Rapids attorney who was dedicated to making legal services available to all\, recognizes a member of the State Bar who excels in commitment to pro bono issues. This award carries with it a cash stipend to be donated to the charity of the recipient’s choice. \nThe John W. Reed Michigan Lawyer Legacy Award was introduced in 2011 and is named for a longtime and beloved University of Michigan Law School professor and Wayne State University dean. This award will be presented periodically to a professor from a Michigan law school whose influence on Michigan lawyers has elevated the quality of legal practice in the state. \nAll SBM award nominations are due by 5 p.m. Friday\, Feb. 19\, 2016. \nThe Liberty Bell Award recipient is selected from nominations made by local and special-purpose bar associations. The award is presented to a non-lawyer who has made a significant contribution to the justice system. The deadline for this award is Monday\, May 13\, 2016. \nAn awards committee co-chaired by Brian D. Figot and SBM Vice President Donald G. Rockwell reviews nominations for the Roberts P. Hudson\, John W. Reed\, Champion of Justice\, Frank J. Kelley\, Kimberly M. Cahill\, and Liberty Bell awards. The SBM Pro BonoInitiative Committee reviews nominations for the Cummiskey Pro Bono award. These recommendations are then voted on by the full Board of Commissioners at its April meeting. \nLast year’s non-winning nominations will automatically carry over for consideration this year. Nominations should include sufficient details about the accomplishments of the nominee to allow the committees to make a judgment. \nAny SBM member can nominate candidates for awards.
