Each fall, the Tennessee Alliance for Legal Services (TALS) presents the Access to Justice Awards to recognize individuals who have contributed to Tennessee's equal justice community.
TALS is now accepting nominations for the 2015 Access to Justice Awards:
- The Janice M. Holder Award recognizes an individual who has advanced the quality of justice statewide, by ensuring that the legal system is open and available to all.
- The B. Riney Green Award recognizes and emphasizes the value the access to justice community has for a particular kind of accomplishment – one that promotes inter-program cooperation and strengthens access to justice across the state.
- The New Advocate of the Year Award recognizes those who use their legal skills in an active, creative way that produces outstanding benefits for individual clients and the communities in which they live. Eligible nominees have been with their legal services program for five years or less.
Nominations will be accepted through Friday, June 26, 2015. For more about the awards and nomination process, visit the TALS website.
