Each year, the Kane County Bar Foundation honors a member of the Kane County Bar Association who has selflessly donated countless, uncompensated hours to serving those in need in the community. Nominations are made by peers and court personnel, and winners are those who have worked tirelessly to expand access to justice for the poor and less fortunate.
Criteria for Selection
- Candidate must be a Kane County Bar Association member in good standing;
