Connecticut's Michael Koskoff
Up for ABA Silver Gavel Award
An acclaimed Connecticut attorney-turned-filmmaker has been nominated for a fitting distinction to honor his contributions to the silver screen: a Silver Gavel Award from the American Bar Association.
Michael Koskoff of Bridgeport's Koskoff Koskoff and Bieder has been nominated for the Silver Gavel in the Drama & Literature category in this year's Silver Gavel Awards for Media and the Arts. He is one of 19 finalists nominated for their works in literature, television, film, multimedia, newspapers and radio.
“The ABA Gavel Awards Screening Committee had a very difficult task in selecting these finalists among so many qualified entries,” said Stephen C. Edds, chairman of the Standing Committee on Gavel Awards. “We congratulate our finalists and look forward to choosing awardees among an already select group.”
The ABA Gavel Awards Screening Committee, composed of 45 lawyer-members of the ABA, selected the 19 finalists from 166 entries received in all eligible categories. Selection criteria include: how the entry addresses the Gavel Awards' purpose and objectives; educational value of legal information; impact on, or outreach to, the public; thoroughness and accuracy in presentation of issues; creativity and originality in approach to subject matter and effectiveness of presentation; and demonstrated technical skill in the entry's production.
The association has presented these awards each year since 1958. Winners will be announced May 23 and ABA President Hilarie Bass will present Silver Gavels and honorable mentions July 17 at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
