Every year DTCI presents awards for Diplomat, Young Lawyer and Defense Lawyer of the Year.   The criteria is as follows:

 

                Indicates members of the Indiana Bar who, in the judgment of the officers and directors of DTCI, have distinguished themselves throughout their careers through outstanding contributions to the representation of clients in the defense of litigation matters, and, therefore, have been designated recipients of the award, Diplomat of the Indiana Defense Trial Counsel.

 

                This award shall be presented to a member of the Defense Trial Counsel, less than 35 years old, who has shown leadership qualities in service to the Indiana Defense Bar, the National Defense Bar, or the community.

 

                This award shall be presented to a licensed lawyer who, in the opinion of the Awards Committee, as approved by the Board of Directors, has promoted the interests of the Indiana Defense Bar, since the last annual meeting of the DTCI, in a most significant way in the fields of litigation, legislation, publication or participation in local, state or national defense organizations.

 

Please forward your nominations to our Awards Chairperson, Tom Hays, at thays@lewiswagner.com and they will be submitted to the DTCI Board of Directors.
