The Conference of County Bar Leaders has established and presents the Gilbert Nurick Award, which is named for the late Harrisburg lawyer who served as Pennsylvania Bar Association President, to any member of the Pennsylvania Bar Association whose dedication and service to leadership and promotion of the organized bar and its activities has resulted in the enhancement of leadership for incoming bar association officers. The award need not be given on an annual basis, but when the dedication and achievement of an individual should be recognized. The award is not given solely because the recipient has held and discharged with fidelity high office or a variety of offices in the Association.
A candidate may be nominated for more than one award. Please review the award descriptions to determine if your candidate meets the criteria.
