Trial Lawyer of the Year Award

Each year, Public Justice presents its Trial Lawyer of the Year Award to the attorney(s) who made the greatest contribution to the public interest within the past year by trying or settling a precedent-setting, socially significant case.

The nomination period for the 2021 award closed on March 1, 2021. The nomination period for the 2022 award will open in early 2022. The award was most recently presented at our 2021 Annual Gala in July to the teams behind Black v. Hicks and Kalima v. Hawai’i.
