LGBTQ+ Bar Student Leadership Award

LGBTQ+ Bar Student Leadership Award

The Student Leadership Award is the LGBTQ+ Bar’s highest honor for law students. The award recognizes two law students who have demonstrated leadership within their school and in the surrounding community, especially in the area of LGBTQ+ equality. The 2023 co-winners will receive free Lavender Law® registration, travel assistance to Chicago, and a free hotel stay at our conference venue. 

To nominate someone for the Student Leadership Award, please send their resume and a 250-500 word statement of support indicating why the nominee deserves recognition to programs@lgbtqbar.org. You must include the following subject line on the email: 2023 Student Leadership Award: [Student Name]. Nominations may be submitted by anyone, including nominees themselves.

A maximum of two additional letters of support may be submitted with the nomination, but are not required. We strongly encourage nominators to adhere to the allotted number of letters (one is required, an additional two are optional). It is not an advantage to provide additional letters or extra documentation; if such extra materials are submitted, the Bar will randomly choose which letters to send to the Awards committee.

Nominations will close at midnight Eastern Time on April 1, 2023.
