Kettlewell Legal Advisor Award is awarded to an APRL member who has demonstrated excellence in and dedication to the field of legal ethics and professional responsibility, by representing, advising, educating, or mentoring lawyers.
SPECIAL COMMITTEES 2022-2023
Pursuant to Section 5, Article VIII of the Bylaws, additional committees may be established by the Board as the Board desires. For the 2022-2023 year, APRL’s Special Committees are:
Integration and Engagement Committee
The IEC is charged with developing policies and actions to encourage all existing members to participate in and positively impact APRL. The association is a diverse one, including in terms of personal demographic, geography, and experience levels. APRL’s appeal and long term viability is closely tied to the ability to learn from and cooperatively work with extraordinarily talented ethicists throughout the United States and abroad. So, it is important to cultivate an environment where today’s elite and tomorrow’s leaders each have voices and a meaningful opportunity to contribute.
