The Hon. John R. Sticht Excellence in Disabilities Accessibility Award
In 2006, at the request of the State Bar's Committee on Persons
With Disabilities in the Legal Profession, the Board of Governors
approved the establishment of the Hon. John R. Sticht Excellence in
Disabilities Accessibility Award.
Nominations
The State Bar of Arizona's Committee on Persons with
Disabilities in the Legal Profession is seeking nominations of one
private law firm and one public facility for the "State Bar of
Arizona Honorable John R. Sticht Excellence in Disabilities
Accessibility Award."
The Sticht Award honors one private legal employer or law firm
and one public legal employer who deserve recognition for their
efforts to improve access to our judicial system for persons with
disabilities in the legal profession (e.g., lawyers, paralegals and
court and law firm staff with a disability). The award will
be made by the State Bar of Arizona's Committee on Persons with
Disabilities in the Legal Profession at the Arizona State Capitol
in July, on the anniversary of the passage of the Americans with
Disabilities Act.
The deadline for nominations is March 30.
