The Harris Gilbert Pro Bono Volunteer of the Year Award, which recognizes significant pro bono work by a private attorney

The Law Student Volunteer Award, which recognizes a student who has provided dedicated and outstanding pro bono services to an organization that is primarily engaged in providing legal representation to the indigent

Award nominations are due by Tuesday, Sept. 4.

Award winners will be honored at the Tennessee Bar Association's Public Service Luncheon Jan. 19 in Nashville.
