When the American Bar Association hands out awards at its regional meeting this week, three winners of major honors will have local ties — including the Philadelphia Bar Association, which is being recognized for its role in the city’s high-profile mortgage foreclosure court program.
The Philadelphia Bar Association is receiving the 2009 Harrison Tweed Award, which honors efforts to increase legal services for the poor and is given by the American Bar Association’s standing committee on legal aid and indigent defendants jointly with the National Legal Aid and Defender Association. The North Carolina Bar Association is a co-recipient of the award, and it’s being honored for its campaign to increase legal services for the poor.
