50-year senior counselors to be recognized at convention
Attorneys who have achieved 50 years of practice, even if they spent part of their careers in other states, can be recognized for their dedication and service.
The Florida Bar will recognize veteran lawyers, who are in good standing with The Florida Bar, during a luncheon at the 2025 Annual Florida Bar Convention, scheduled for Friday, June 27, at The Boca Raton Hotel in Boca Raton. Both 50-year members of The Florida Bar and senior counselors will be recognized at the luncheon.
The senior counselor program, which was recommended by the Out-of-State Division, recognizes current active and inactive Florida Bar members, who are in good standing with The Florida Bar, and have practiced law for 50 years or more and have not previously been recognized by The Florida Bar for this accomplishment. Participants must write a letter stating their request to be considered for a 50-year senior counselor award and include a list of all state bar memberships held with both start and end dates indicated. The cumulative 50 years in legal practice must have been completed by January 1, 2025, for this year’s honors.
Letters should be addressed to: 50-Year Senior Counselor Award, Attn: Whitney Jobson, The Florida Bar, 651 E. Jefferson Street, Tallahassee 32399, or emailed to [email protected] and must be received no later than May 1. For more information, contact Whitney Jobson at [email protected].
