2015 NLADA Exemplar Award Dinner

The NLADA Exemplar Award Dinner brings together over 500 equal justice advocates, including private attorneys, general counsel and public interest lawyers, to pay tribute to those lawyers who labor tirelessly to improve the quality of representation for people who are unable to pay for legal assistance and to salute outstanding individuals who set an example by their dedication, achievement, leadership and vision. This year, John F. Schultz, executive vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary of the Hewlett-Packard Company, is the recipient of the Exemplar Award for his exceptional leadership in supporting and advancing the cause of legal representation for those unable to afford counsel.

In addition to the Exemplar Award, other equal justice champions will be honored at the event. The Kutak-Dodds Prizes will be awarded to a civil legal aid lawyer and a public defense attorney for outstanding service in providing legal services to the disadvantaged. Law firms that have demonstrated a significant pro bono commitment will receive the distinguished Beacon of Justice Award.
