Chief Justice Thomas O. Marshall Professionalism Awards | Call for Nominations

The Bench and Bar Committee invites you to nominate one lawyer and one judge who have demonstrated the highest professional conduct and paramount reputation for professionalism for its 22nd Annual Chief Justice Thomas O. Marshall Professionalism Awards. You may nominate one lawyer and one judge candidate, but you must use a separate form for each nomination. A letter of recommendation outlining the candidate’s background must also accompany the form.

Nominations submitted last year and the previous year will also be considered, and we have those materials on file. If you submitted a nomination within the last two years and wish to add any additional supporting materials to it you may do so.
