    Honoring Outstanding Community and Public Service For 19 years The 19th Annual Justice Robert Benham Awards for Community Service February 27, 2018 Auditorium State Bar of Georgia Headquarters Atlanta, Georgia 10 19th Annual Justice Robert Benham Awards for Community Service Awards Presentation and Reception Sponsored by the State Bar of Georgia and the Chief Justice’s Commission on Professionalism Tuesday, February 27, 2018 5:30 - 8:00 p.m. Auditorium State Bar of Georgia Headquarters 104 Marietta Street, N. W. - Third Floor Atlanta, Georgia Justice Robert Benham Awards For Community Service HISTORY OF THE AWARDS These awards are named in honor of The Honorable Robert Benham who, during his term as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia from 1995 to 2001, focused the attention of lawyers and judges on the community and public service aspects of professionalism. Justice Benham explains: The public impression of the legal profession is not shaped just in the courtroom. It is shaped in all kinds of activities. When lawyers are involved in community activities, people will see them as neighbors, swimming team coaches, baseball coaches, house builders, and a whole host of other community servants. And if lawyers are also community servants, people will see the legal profession as a community-spirited profession. Such an impression can’t help but benefit the profession and increase the understanding of the role of the law and lawyer. In 1997, the Executive Committee of the State Bar of Georgia created the Annual Justice Robert Benham Awards for Community Service to honor lawyers and judges who have made outstanding contributions in the area of community service.
