Chief Justice Thomas O. Marshall Professionalism Awards

The Bench and Bar Committee of the State Bar of Georgia invites you to nominate one lawyer and one judge who have demonstrated the highest professional conduct and paramount reputation for professionalism for its 24th Annual Chief Justice Thomas O. Marshall Professionalism Awards. You may nominate one lawyer and one judge candidate, but you must use a separate form for each nomination. A letter of recommendation outlining the candidate’s background must also accompany the form. 

Nominations submitted the previous four years will also be considered and we have those on file. If you wish to add any additional supporting materials to a previous nomination, you may do so.

The past presidents of the State Bar of Georgia will choose the award recipients at the 2025 Midyear Meeting in January, and the recipients will be presented their award at the 2025 Annual Meeting in June.

Please note that the deadline for submitting nominations is Friday, Dec. 6, 2024. Nominations may be emailed to Sarah Coole at sarahc@518331.com, or mailed to Sarah Coole, State Bar of Georgia, 104 Marietta St. NW, Suite 100, Atlanta, GA 30303.
