The National LGBT Bar Association has announced that nominations for its annual 40 Best LGBTQ+ Lawyers Under 40 Awards are now open. Each year, the LGBT Bar recognises LGBTQ+ legal professionals (practicing lawyers, law professors, corporate counsel, members of the judiciary, politicians, etc) under the age of 40 who have distinguished themselves in their field and have demonstrated a profound commitment to LGBTQ+ equality.
Founded over 30 years ago by a small group of family law practitioners, the National LGBT Bar Association (a US-based association of lawyers, judges and other legal professionals, law students, activists and affiliated LGBT organisations), promotes justice in and through the legal profession for the LGBTQ+ community in all its diversity.
The deadline for nominations is 15th February 2020. Winning awardees will be invited to a ceremony at the National LGBT Bar’s 2020 Lavender Law Conference and Career Fair in Washington DC on 12th-14th August, 2020. Click here to nominate.
