InnovAction Awards

Each year the College presents the coveted InnovAction Awards to the unsung heroes and rising stars within the legal profession who dare to think differently and succeed by doing so. We invite entries from passionate professionals with big ideas determined to make a difference. Entries are judged on originality, disruption, value and effectiveness.

HOW TO ENTER

Access to Justice

One of the opportunities available to College Fellows is to volunteer to help perform on-site evaluations of Legal Services Corporation (LSC) grantee programs to ensure these programs provide high-quality legal services. The site visits are a wonderful opportunity to “give back” and help improve the capacities of legal aid organizations in the United States.
