Calling outstanding lawyers and those who know them! Nominations are open for the following International Bar Association (IBA) annual awards: the IBA Award for Outstanding Contribution by a Legal Practitioner to Human Rights, the IBA Pro Bono Award and the IBA Outstanding Young Lawyer Award

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.
