ISBA Law Student Division Public Service Award
The Illinois State Bar Association Law Student Division’s Public Service Award is awarded annually to a law student participating in activities that enhance professional responsibility and provide service to the public. The award is based on extracurricular accomplishments and service related activities during the law school career.
A finalist will be selected from each accredited law school affiliated with the ISBA Law Student Division from which qualified nominees are submitted. The final award recipient will be chosen from these finalists. Each winner will receive a commemorative plaque. The final award recipient will receive all expenses paid to the ISBA Annual Meeting including transportation and one night’s lodging and will be honored at the Assembly Meeting. A $250.00 donation to a non-profit organization of the winner’s choice will be made by the Association in the name of the final award winner. All decisions are final.
To be eligible for this award you must be a member in good standing of the Law Student Division of the Illinois State Bar Association. Prior applicants may apply, except for prior final award recipients.
