CBA announces this year's Dickerson honorees; awards luncheon set for February 27

The Chicago Bar Association will honor five Chicago attorneys "who have fought for justice and equality in the legal profession over the course of their careers" on February 27 at the annual Dickerson Award Luncheon.

The Dickerson awards, now in their 30th year, were established in honor of the late Earl B. Dickerson, one of the first African American members of the Chicago Bar Association, whose prestigious legal career was marked by his courage and dedication to making the law the key to justice for all of society.

The 2020 recipients of the Dickerson Awards are:

• Nina Fain, JSS Family Trusts
• G.A. Finch, Hoogendoorn & Talbot LLP
• Hon. Cheyrl D. Ingram, Circuit Court of Cook County
• Hon. Diane M. Shelley, Circuit Court of Cook County
• Hon. Anthony L. Young (ret.), Circuit Court of Cook County

Tickets for the awards luncheon are $75 each (tables of 10 are available for $750) and can be purchased at this page of the CBA website. The luncheon will begin at noon at the Standard Club, 320 S. Plymouth Court; a reception will precede the luncheon at 11:30 a.m. For additional information, or assistance in procuring tickets, call Angie Cruz at (312) 554-2132.
