Each year, the Association honors lawyer and judges whose careers best exemplify the integrity, commitment to public service, and distinguished career of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens. Justice Stevens served as Second Vice President of the CBA until his appointment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in 1970. In December 1975, he was nominated to fill the vacancy of U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas and was sworn in several weeks later. He retired in 2010 after 34 years – making him the third-longest-serving justice in the Court’s history. In 2000, The Chicago Bar Association Board of Managers and Justice Stevens’ law clerks established the award that bears his name, which is the highest award presented by the CBA. Nominations for the 2023 Justice John Paul Stevens Award should be submitted by August 7, 2023. Please email them to Beth McMeen at bmcmeen@chica gobar.org.
