Awards were presented to Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer of the United State District Court, Justice P. Scott Neville of the Illinois Supreme Court, Judge Louis Berrones of the Lake County Circuit Court and Judge Sebastian Patti of the Circuit Court of Cook County. All award recipients were presented with a framed book of Abe Lincoln’s Hat, a book read to young children by Judges who visit classrooms throughout the State of Illinois. The award recipients were recognized for their mentoring and others contributions to the legal community.

In addition, the Harold Sullivan Scholarships were awarded to students from Loyola Law School, Hannah O’Keffe and Niclle Provax.  Each winner will receive a scholarship worth $10,000.00, after applying matching donations from Loyola Law School.
