CCLA Awards
Each year, an advisory committee is established to select the recipient(s) of the following CCLA Awards:
The Carleton Medal, Gordon F. Henderson, and Regional Senior Justice Awards are presented to recipients at the Annual CCLA Awards Dinner in February. The Abe Feinstein Solicitors' Award is presented at the Annual Solicitors' Conference in May.
We are not currently accepting nomination forms for any of our awards. Please check back.
Carleton Medal
The Carleton Medal is given to those who are most deserving of recognition for great diligence, high ideals and outstanding leadership in the practice of law. Those who will receive the medal will have made a significant contribution to the profession of law, whether as a solicitor in effectively performing services in that position, or as a barrister in attaining an excellent reputation in the courts, or as an academic, or for a single act of notable distinction. The medal will be awarded only to members or former members of the County of Carleton Law Association.
Congratulations to Justice Denis Power for being the 2011 Carleton Medal recipient!

Gordon F. Henderson Award
The County of Carleton Law Association established the Gordon F. Henderson Award to honour a lawyer who is a member or former member of the County of Carleton Law Association and who, during the past year, has made a significant contribution to the welfare of the community by performing charitable services on behalf of the community. In recognition of their great dedication and high ideals in service to the community, each recipient will receive the Gordon F. Henderson Award and a $1,000 donation will be made by the CCLA, on their behalf, to the charity or charities of the recipient’s choice.
