The Pennsylvania Bar Foundation is seeking nominations for the 2009 Louis J. Goffman Award for outstanding pro bono service.

The Goffman Awards program seeks to recognize and honor an individual and an organization whose commitments to pro bono have enhanced the delivery of legal services to Pennsylvania's poor or disadvantaged, making a critical difference in the lives of those in need of legal representation.

The nomination deadline is May 1, 2009 and the award presentation will take place during the PBA Annual Meeting scheduled for June 2 - 4, 2009 at the Hilton Pittsburgh. Each award recipient is presented with a commemorative plaque and a monetary contribution.
