Each year, the Chattanooga Bar Association honors an outstanding citizen in the Chattanooga area with the Liberty Bell Award for public service.

The CBA is currently seeking nominations for the 2021 award, to be presented during the annual Law Day Luncheon, which will be held Wednesday, Sept. 15.

The deadline for nominations is Wednesday, Aug. 18. Send nominations to:

Chattanooga Bar Association

The Pioneer Building, Ste. 420

801 Broad Street

Chattanooga 37402

Liberty Bell Award recognizes community service that has strengthened the America system of freedom under law.

In selecting the recipient of this award, the CBA considers activities that promote a better understanding of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, encourage respect for the law and the courts, stimulate a deeper sense of individual responsibility and foster a better understanding and appreciation of the rule of law.

Award judges will select a recipient from the nominations. Lawyers and judges are not eligible for the award.
