Every year, the Alabama Law Foundation hosts a special evening, the Fellows Dinner, to honor a group of exceptional lawyers for their service and commitment. The event recognizes lawyers who have been selected to join the foundation's Fellows Program and those elevated to "Life Fellows" status. The selection committee chooses new members from an exceptional group of lawyers: no more than one percent of bar members who have demonstrated outstanding dedication to their profession and their community are invited into fellowship. Life Fellows are members previously inducted who have met their pledge and continue to provide support and leadership for the Alabama Law Foundation.

The 2010 Fellows dinner was held February 20 at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts. The black-tie affair attracted friends and colleagues from across Alabama to recognize the new Fellows and the Life Fellows for their professional service and excellence.

The Fellows program was established in 1995 to honor Alabama bar members for outstanding service and commitment. Those chosen to become Fellows are given the opportunity to increase their leadership roles through the Alabama Law Foundation. As leaders in the legal community, Fellows provide financial and personal support for the Alabama Law Foundation, the charitable arm of the Alabama State Bar.
