2015 NBA Nation’s Best Advocates: 40 Lawyers Under 40

THE NBA’S 40 LAWYERS UNDER 40

The NBA’s 40 Under 40 Awards program recognizes the nation’s top lawyers under 40 who exemplify a broad range of high achievement, including in innovation, vision, leadership and legal and community involvement. The awardees typically represent a cross-section of legal professionals, including big firm, solo and industry practitioners, government lawyers, judges, academicians, corporate counsels, young elected officials, and various other lawyers, all of whom are using their degree in innovative and community impacting ways.

An independent panel reviewed hundreds of nominees, from which the panel selected the 40 individuals to receive the prestigious awards, which will be presented at the National Bar Association’s illustrious 40 Under 40 Awards luncheon on Thursday, July 23, 2015 during the NBA’s 90th Annual Convention in Los Angeles, CA.

2015 NBA Nation’s Best Advocates: 40 Lawyers Under 40

ABOUT NATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATIONThe National Bar Association was founded in 1925 and is the nation’s oldest and largest national network of predominantly African-American or Black attorneys and judges. It represents the interests of approximately 60,000 lawyers, judges, law professors and law students. The NBA is organized around 23 substantive law sections, 9 divisions, 12 regions and 80 affiliate chapters throughout the United States and around the world.

As executives and decision makers, the NBA constituency controls millions in procurement and consumer dollars. While some members are corporate or government executives, many represent large, small, and solo firms all of whom are interested in a wide variety of products and services. Whether in the public or private sector, African American attorneys are constantly seeking opportunities for professional and personal growth
