The Memphis Bar Association (MBA) held its annual meeting Dec. 7. During the event, three awards were presented. Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland received the Judge Jerome Turner Lawyer’s Lawyer Award, which recognizes a Memphis attorney who has practiced law for more than 15 years and embodies professionalism, civility and courtesy. Action News 5 has more on that award. Danielle Woods received the Sam Myar Jr. Memorial Award, which honors an attorney under 40 years old who has shown dedication and commitment to their practice and the legal community. Finally, David Cook received the W.J. Michael Cody Access to Justice Award. He also was honored earlier this year with the TBA's Harris Gilbert Pro Bono Attorney of the Year.
