The Legal's Lifetime Achievement Award Winners

With this year being The Legal Intelligencer's 170th anniversary, we wanted to do something special to commemorate the occasion and to honor the great history of the legal profession in Pennsylvania. So we decided to identify some of the most important members of the legal community by giving them Lifetime Achievement Awards. Our focus in selecting this group of noteworthy individuals was to represent the figures who have helped to shape the law in Pennsylvania, whether through their work on the bench, assisting those in need of legal services, building a firm or any other means. We had only a select few requirements: the attorney must have had a distinct impact on the legal profession in the state and must still be practicing the law.
