The Earl B. Dickerson Awards were established in 1990 to honor Dickerson’s devoted service and extraordinary contributions to the legal community. He was an outstanding lawyer and among the first African American members of The Chicago Bar Association. Dickerson’s life and professional career were devoted to the law and helping others gain equality and justice. The Chicago Bar Association created this special award to recognize and honor minority lawyers and judges whose careers emulate the courage and dedication of Dickerson in making the law the key to justice for all in our society. This year’s honorees are Andrea Bonds, Bronzeville Law Group, LLC, Judge Arnette R. Hubbard (Ret.), Cannon Lambert, Sr., Karchmar & Lambert, P.C., and Chief Justice P. Scott Neville Jr., Illinois Supreme Court. A complete list of prior Dickerson Award winners can be found at this link.
“Throughout his career, Earl B. Dickerson challenged systemic inequities and helped to expand access to justice while demonstrating how the law could be used as a powerful instrument for social change. Our distinguished honorees exemplify the character and dedication of Dickerson by helping to ensure that all in our community receive fair and equitable treatment,” said CBA President Judge Nichole C. Patton.
