Pro Bono Award

Since its formation, the Inn has recognized members of the Georgia IP Community who go above and beyond in service to others who cannot afford representation.  Members of the Inn nominate attorneys from around the state every year in February and March for their past or current work. The Inn's award committee selects the winner to be announced at the End-of-Year Dinner.  

Award recipients are not required to be members of the Inn.
