2007 Fellows of the Alabama Law Foundation Honored (02/22/2008)

Every year, the Alabama Law Foundation hosts a special evening event, the Fellows Dinner, to acknowledge lawyers who have been selected to join the foundation’s Fellows Program and those elevated to “Life Fellows” status. The selection committee chooses new members from an exceptional group of lawyers, no more than 1% of bar members, who have demonstrated dedication to their profession and their community. 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 22, at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts. The black tie affair attracted friends and colleagues 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 for outstanding service and commitment. 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.
