The Stonewall Award recognizes those lawyers, members of the judiciary, and legal academia who have effected real change to remove barriers on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression in the legal profession and the world, nation, state and/or locale, and to recognize those who have championed diversity for the LGBTQ+ community, both within the legal profession and impacting the greater human universe.
In 2011, the ABA Board of Governors approved the creation of the Stonewall Award to recognize contributions by the recipients thereof towards the advancement of LGBTQ+ individuals in the legal profession, and/or to LGBTQ+ legal issues, to be awarded by the ABA SOGI Commission.
Your charitable sponsorship of the Stonewall Award funds the annual projects and programs implemented by the ABA Commission on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) that advance the policy, advocacy, and diversity initiatives for LGBTQ+ members of the legal profession and the greater LGBTQ+ Community.
