The awards, sponsored by LexisNexis, are free to enter and open to all lawyers, IBA members and non-members alike. They will be presented during the 2020 IBA Annual Conference, in Miami, USA, 1–6 November.
IBA President Horacio Bernardes Neto said: ‘At the IBA, we believe that being a good lawyer is not simply a case of performing the required duties. As the global voice of the legal profession, we are committed to showing appreciation for those who dedicate their lives to creating a fairer society. I encourage anyone who knows of a worthy lawyer to nominate them for an IBA Award in recognition of their achievements.’
Find out more and submit nominations via the IBA website, at www.ibanet.org/Committees/Divisions/Legal_Practice/IBA-Human-Rights-Award.aspx.
Nominations must be made by the end of 19 June 2020. Any queries should be sent to rebecca.ruler@int-bar.org.
