The Law Tribune is proud to announce the winners of its first-ever Professional Excellence Awards.

For years, the state’s legal newspaper has honored young up-and-coming lawyers, calling them New Leaders of the Law. The Professional Excellence Awards serve as a sort of bookend, honoring attorneys with 30 or more years of experience who have made substantial contributions during their careers to law firms, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, corporations, law schools and the judiciary, and to the practice of law in general.
