2014 Kutak-Dodds Prize Nominations Now Open Nominations are now open for the 2014 Kutak-Dodds Prizes. The National Legal Aid & Defender Association (NLADA) presents the prestigious award annually at its Exemplar Award Dinner to honor the accomplishments of civil legal aid attorneys, public defenders, assigned counsel or public interest lawyers who, through the practice of law, are significantly contributing to the enhancement of human dignity and quality of life of those individuals who are unable to afford legal representation. The Prizes are intended to showcase the work of attorneys who are engaged for most, if not all, of their practice to reinforcing the principle and reality of justice for all under the law.
The 2014 Kutak-Dodds Prizes will honor two attorneys, one from the civil legal aid community and another from the public defense community. Each Prize carries a cash award of $10,000.
