CCLA Award Winners and Umbrella Recipients

CCLA Awards

The CCLA is happy to announce the recipients of the three awards we will be presenting at our AGM and Awards Dinner on March 10, 2015.

The Carleton Medal - Michael J. Neville
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 Gordon F. Henderson Award - Jane Bachynski and Larry Kelly
The CCLA established the Gordon F. Henderson Award to honour a lawyer who is a member or former member of the CCLA 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.

This year, we are honoured to present this award to two of our members.

The Regional Senior Justice Award - Vasu Naik
The CCLA established the Regional Senior Justice (RSJ) Award in 2003 to honour lawyers in practice 10 years or less, who are members or former members of the CCLA, and who have made an outstanding contribution as a litigator or solicitor within the profession and/or outside the profession by making an outstanding contribution to the community.

Congratulations to all of our award winners!
