It is time again to gather up nominations for the various awards presented by the Idaho State Bar Board of Commissioners. Each year, the Board of Commissioners presents awards to members of the Bar who demonstrate exemplary leadership, professionalism, and commitment to the legal profession and to the public. Nominations can be submitted at any time throughout the year, but the current deadline for the 2025 awards is Friday, March 28th.

The Distinguished Jurist, Distinguished Lawyer, Outstanding Young Lawyer, Service, and Section of the Year Awards will be presented during the summer. The Professionalism and Denise O’Donnell Day Pro Bono Awards are presented at the Resolution Meetings in each recipient’s judicial district in the fall.
