Each year, based on nominations from members and the public, the Oregon State Bar honors a select group of lawyers and judges who have made outstanding contributions to the community and the profession. The Professionalism Commission recognizes an attorney who exemplifies honesty and integrity and the annual Pro Bono Challenge recognizes the lawyers and law firms who reported the most time providing direct pro bono services.
