Forty-two South Florida voluntary bar associations will receive The Florida Bar’s Group Professionalism Award during its annual convention this week in Boca Raton.
The bar associations are being recognized for a joint program to boost civility in the legal profession. Presidents of various voluntary bar associations in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, along with chief judges in the three circuits, signed a resolution vowing to promote civility and follow the standards of professional courtesy in court.
