Dec. 1 deadline for nomination of Laureates

Only two weeks remain for nominations to be submitted for the 2008 class of Laureates of the ISBA Academy of Illinois Lawyers. The deadline is Monday, Dec. 1.

The class of Laureates is selected annually by the Academy Board of Regents. Nominees must be ISBA members who personify the values, standards and ideals of the best of the legal profession, and have practiced law primarily in Illinois for at least 25 years.

For more information about making a nomination, and listings of previous honorees, access www.isba.org and click on “Awards” under “About” on the navigation bar.

The Board of Regents emphasizes the importance of including letters of support – as many as 10 personal and 10 professional – with the nomination statement and resume.
