Nominations for the Advocate’s Award are Open

By Donald Pocock and John Jo

The NCBA Litigation Section is seeking nominations for the Advocate’s Award, the highest award of the Litigation Section. The award was established to recognize members of the Litigation Section who are the superstars of our profession. A description of the award, the necessary qualifications, past winners of the award, and a nomination form is available on the Litigation Section page of the North Carolina Bar Association’s website by clicking here.

The nomination process has been streamlined for 2020/21. Nominations can be submitted online using a fillable form. The Advocate’s Award Committee hopes to receive many deserving nominations. We all have been privileged to work with some truly great litigators, so make sure to nominate the superstars you know for the Advocate’s Award. The deadline for this year’s nominations is March 26, 2021.

Please note: (1) the award may be conferred and nominations may be made posthumously; (2) nominees who do not receive the award may be considered for the award in subsequent years without being re-nominated; and (3) nominees who are currently practicing must be a member of the Litigation Section to be considered for the award.
