Professionalism Awards

 

Save the date for the Professionalism Awards Ceremony: The Orange County Bar Association will present its annual Professionalism Awards Ceremony on Thursday, March 23, 2023 from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Orange County Courthouse Jury Assembly Room.

Every year, the Professionalism Committee recognizes individuals whose conduct and career stand as a model of success built on unquestioned professionalism, service, civility, integrity, and respect for the legal system.                                                 

The William Trickel, Jr. and the Lawrence G. Mathews, Jr. Young Lawyer Professionalism Award recipients, who are nominated by their peers, are attorneys whose conduct and career stands as a model of success built on unquestioned professionalism. Trickel Award winners have practiced law for 15 or more years, while Mathews Award winners have practiced law for less than 15 years.

The James G. Glazebrook Memorial Bar Service Award is presented to a state or federal jurist who best demonstrates service to and support of the legal profession and the Legal Aid Society of the OCBA, is dedicated to professionalism both in and out of the courtroom, and is a leader in promoting professionalism, including civility, integrity, and respect for the legal system.
