You are invited to nominate one or more colleagues for this prestigious award.

The American Inns of Court, with more than 350 Inns nationwide, is dedicated to the advancement of excellence, civility, professionalism, and ethics in the practice of law. Mentoring plays a significant role in the attractiveness and success of the Inns. A major dimension of that mentoring is guidance, not only by word but also by example, of senior lawyers and judges whose professional lives have reflected civility, competence, and an ethical attitude in all things — in other words, professionalism.
