Introducing the WSBA Professionalism in Practice Award
The PiP Awards honor Bar members who exemplify professionalism. Lawyers, judges, staff and the public are encouraged to nominate a Washington legal professional for a PiP award if they believe that person's actions significantly advance professionalism in the legal community.
Nominations are accepted and awards are presented throughout the year. The PiP Awards formerly were known as Random Acts of Professionalism.
