Pro Bono Ontario will receive the TLA Honsberger Award
January 20, 2023
For the first time in its nine-year history, the Honsberger Award will be presented to an organization, Pro Bono Ontario (PBO), as opposed to an individual lawyer.
The Honsberger Award has traditionally been presented annually to a Toronto lawyer in recognition of a single unique accomplishment or ongoing contributions to the legal community and the community at large, exemplifying the TLA’s three pillars: Knowledge, Community and Advocacy. (The Honsberger Award differs from the TLA Award of Distinction, which honours a recipient’s lifetime achievement of excellence and contribution to the integrity and worth of the law and the legal profession.)
