The AALS Section on Pro Bono and Public Service seeks nominations for the Deborah L. Rhode and
Father Robert Drinan Awards to be presented at the AALS Annual Meeting in January 2007. The Rhode Award is awarded to a full-time law school faculty member or dean who has made an outstanding contribution to increasing pro bono and public service through scholarship, leadership
and service. The Drinan Award is given to a law school faculty or staff member who has forwarded a pro bono ethic through personal service, program design and/or management.
Any member of the AALS can make a nomination; members can nominate themselves. The Awards Committee encourages submission of three letters of recommendation (up to
five pages per letter) from a diverse group of supporters-- e.g. law student, faculty member, public interest lawyer -- who can address different aspects of the nominee's achievements. We encourage re-nominations of
persons who been previously nominated but not selected. Brochures and other materials will not be accepted.
Please submit a notice of intent to nominate and letters of support to Susan J. Feathers, sfeather@law.upenn.edu by Friday, October 12, 2006. If submissions
cannot be emailed or you have any questions, please call Susan Feathers at 215-898-0459.
