ABA’s Excellence in Elawyering Award Accepting Nominations
The ABA’s eLawyering Task Force has announced that it is accepting nominations for The James I. Keane Memorial Award. This annual award gives recognition to law offices or legal organizations that have developed legal service innovations delivered over the Internet. According to the Task Force, the focus of the award is the innovative delivery of personal legal services, with special attention given to firms and entities that serve both moderate income individuals and the broad middle class.
From the Task Force’s website:
“The Jim Keane Award is named for James I. Keane, the founding Chair of the ABA eLawyering Task Force. The Task Force was created in 2000, when ABA President William G. Paul, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, took the unusual and creative step of asking a Section to assume responsibility for one of his presidential initiatives, namely an examination of ways that lawyers could use the Internet and other electronic resources to deliver legal services to people of moderate means more efficiently and effectively.”
