Past Recipients of the Eisenberg Award and Distinguished Service Award

 

The Howard B. Eisenberg Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes individuals who have dedicated their careers to the development and delivery of civil legal services. This may include direct provision of legal services, development of innovative methods to deliver services, participation in legislative or litigation based efforts to increase access to pro bono legal services, or working to raise the awareness of the legal needs of underserved populations.

The Distinguished Service Award honors an employee of one of WEJF's member legal services law firms who has an exemplary record of service to underserved populations. Recipients of this award are chosen by the directors of our member programs.
