Members of the legal profession are nominated by a single nominator and can nominate themselves. Individuals nominated must be members of the legal profession in a Canadian province or territory.
All nominations received in one year and not selected for an award in that year will automatically be considered again in the following year, providing the nominee continues to meet eligibility criteria (unless the nominee does not wish to be considered again in the second year).
Each nominee must be a member in good standing of a Canadian Law Society, can be practicing or non-practicing; working in private practice, in-house, government, education, or in the not-for-profit sector; and can be of any year of call.
