The New Hampshire Bar Foundation is seeking nominations from members of the New Hampshire Bar for the 2008 Robert E. Kirby and Frank Rowe Kenison awards to be presented at the Bar Foundation’s 31st Annual Dinner on May 8, 2008. The deadline for nominations is February 1, 2008.

The Kirby Award recognizes lawyers, age 35 or younger, whose traits of civility, courtesy, perspective, and excellent advocacy are distinguishing characteristics of their professional practice. The Robert E. Kirby Award was established in 1996 to honor the memory of Bob Kirby, a young lawyer “of great skill, civility, and good humor” who died that year at the age of 35.

The Frank Rowe Kenison Award is presented to an individual (or individuals) whose contributions to the administration of justice, the legal profession, or the advancement of legal thought have served to better the lives of New Hampshire citizens. Frank Rowe Kenison (1907-1980) served as chief justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court from 1952-1977. He was an excellent legal thinker who committed his life to the legal system, education about the law and the promise of equal justice for all.

A list of former award recipients is published on the New Hampshire Bar Foundation’s Web site (www.nhbarfoundation.org) under Bar Foundation Awards. Nomination forms may be downloaded from the award pages or if you wish to have them faxed or mailed to you, call Kathy Schnebel at (603) 715-3238. 

Inquiries about the awards may be directed to David G. Snyder, executive director of the New Hampshire Bar Foundation, at (603) 715-3255 or at dsnyder@nhbarfoundation.org
