Medal of Honor Award

In Florida, we are fortunate to have a history of such greatness. Each year, we recognize worthy individuals with the Medal of Honor Award, FFLA’s highest award for a member of the legal profession. The Medal of Honor may also be awarded to a member of the public or a lawyer not actively engaged in the practice of law who has made outstanding achievements in improving the administration of justice in Florida. The Medal of Honor awards program was established in 1977 to recognize those outstanding achievements. Award recipients are honored each year at our  Annual Award Ceremony during The Florida Bar Annual Convention.

Medal of Honor Award for a Lawyer

The FFLA Medal of Honor Award for a lawyer is presented each year to a member of The Florida Bar who has demonstrated his or her dedication to the objectives of The Florida Bar as set out in the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar: “…to inculcate in its members the principles of duty and service to the public, to improve the administration of justice, and to advance the science of jurisprudence.” The Medal of Honor Award is the highest award that can be bestowed by FFLA.

Medal of Honor Awards for a Non-Lawyer

The FFLA Medal of Honor Award for a non-lawyer is presented to a person not actively engaged in the practice of law who has made an outstanding contribution to the improvement in the administration of justice through research, writing, or other deeds of such character and quality that, in the judgment of the FFLA, warrant the highest award that can be bestowed by FFLA.
