LESA is always so grateful for our volunteers and the countless hours of time, talent, and energy you contribute to Alberta’s articling students, lawyers, and their staff.
Now it’s that time of year where the Law Society of Alberta and the Canadian Bar Association are preparing to recognize exceptional lawyers and their contributions to both the legal and wider community in Alberta.
Nominations for the 2015 Distinguished Service Awards are open until Friday, November 16, 2014.
These awards honour Alberta legal professionals for outstanding contributions in one of the following four areas:
1) Legal Scholarship
2) Pro Bono Legal Service
3) Service to the Community
4) Service to the Profession
To nominate an exceptional individual for one of these awards, complete the nomination form and upload a nomination package. Nomination packages include:
– a statement detailing why the candidate is worthy of the award,
– a curriculum vitae outlining the nominee’s background, career, and present activities, and
– a maximum of two letters of support for the nomination.
For more information about eligibility, submission, selection procedure, or previous award recipients, visit the Law Society of Alberta’s website.
