Top Stories

Bar SealAttorneys 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 during a luncheon at the 2023 Annual Florida Bar Convention, tentatively scheduled for Friday, June 23, 2023, at The Boca Raton 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 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, 2023, for this year’s honors.

Letters should be addressed to 50-Year Senior Counselor Award, Attn: Paige Dooley-Levy, The Florida Bar, 651 E. Jefferson Street, Tallahassee 32399, or emailed to [email protected] and must be received no later than April 21. For more information, contact Paige Dooley-Levy at [email protected].
