Ind. Courts - Reminder: The Indiana Judges Association is accepting nominations for its annual “Excellence in Public Information and Education" awards

Reminder. As noted in this July 3, 2007 entry, the Indiana Judges Association is accepting nominations for its annual awards for “Excellence in Public Information and Education.”

The IJA gives two “Excellence in Public Information and Education” awards each year. One award is presented to a member of the Indiana judiciary for special efforts in community relations. In addition, an award is presented to a member of the news media for efforts in responsible reporting on the Indiana judiciary.

Nominations for either award should include a letter outlining the reasons for making the nomination and any supporting information that will assist the committee in its decision-making. The selection will be based on the breadth and depth of the effort, quality of the effort, ingenuity and public response

Nominations must be received at the Indiana Judicial Center by 4:30 p.m. on Monday, August 13, 2007. The awards will be presented at the Indiana Judges Association luncheon on September 20, 2007 in Fort Wayne.

The nomination forms for both awards are available here, in the upper right-hand corner.

This link will lead you to an ILB entry on last year's winners. The ILB was one of the two recipients of the awards in 2006, and would be thrilled to be nominated again this year for its efforts over the past 12 months.
