State Bar Representative Assembly accepting nominations for awards
Nominations are being accepted for two State Bar of Michigan Representative Assembly awards.

The Unsung Hero Award is presented to a lawyer who has exhibited the highest standards of practice and commitment for the benefit of others.
Nominees for both awards must be State Bar members in good standing and their contributions may have been made either during the past year or by virtue of cumulative effort or service. Materials submitted should include sufficient details about the nominee's accomplishments.

The Representative Assembly, chaired by Kathleen Allen, is the final policy-making body of the State Bar.
