ANNUAL AWARDS NOMINATIONS DEADLINE EXTENDED TO
JULY 22
BAEC Annual Awards
Each year, the Bar Association of Erie County proudly recognizes lawyers and individuals in the community through its awards programs. These awards are given to individuals who have performed outstanding service to the community, to the Bar Association, and/or to the profession. Bar Association and community-based programs, organizations and activities may also qualify for various awards.
The awards give our Association the unique opportunity to publicly honor the recipients for their dedication to their profession, to the Bar Association and the community. It is our hope that such awards will inspire others to devote their talents to serving others.
The Association gives out awards at two of our most prestigious events: the Annual Awards and Law Day.
