Alabama Law Foundation Announces 2006 Fellows (02/15/2007)

The Alabama Law Foundation begins each year acknowledging service and commitment by announcing both the names of the lawyers selected to join the foundation’s Fellows Program and those elevated to “Life Fellows” status. No more than 1% of bar members may become Fellows; therefore, the selection committee invites into fellowship an exceptional group of lawyers who have demonstrated their dedication to improving the world around them. Life Fellows are members previously inducted who have met their pledge and continue to provide support and leadership for the Alabama Law Foundation.

This year’s annual Fellows cocktail reception and dinner was held on Friday, February 2, 2007, at the Capital City Club in Montgomery. Friends and colleagues gathered from across the state of

Alabama to honor the new Fellows and the Life Fellows for their professional service and excellence.

The Fellows program was established in 1995 to honor Alabama bar members who have made significant contributions to their profession and their community. Those chosen to become Fellows are given the opportunity to increase their leadership roles through the Alabama Law Foundation. As leaders in the legal community, Fellows provide financial and personal support for the Alabama Law Foundation, the charitable arm of the Alabama State Bar.
