FellowsThe Alabama Law Foundation begins each year acknowledging service and commitment by announcing both the names of the lawyers selected to join the foundation’s Fellows Program and those elevated to “Life Fellows” status. Fellows provide leadership and support for the Alabama Foundation’s programs that promote access to the justice system. No more than 1% of bar members may become Fellows; therefore, the selection committee invites into fellowship an exceptional group of lawyers who have demonstrated their dedication to improving the world around them The Alabama Law Foundation established the Fellows program in 1995 to honor bar members who have made a significant contribution to their profession and their community. The Charter Fellows were past presidents of the Alabama State Bar and the Alabama Law Foundation. Currently, the foundation recognizes 217 Fellows. Fellows pay a $2000 initiation fee and dues of $100 a year for ten years, at which point they become Life Fellows; there are 137 Life and Charter Members. Funds from the Fellows program are used for law-related charitable purposes with input from the Fellows. For example, a new student loan repayment program helps law students who want to work in public interest law. 2008 Fellows Dinner Photo Gallery 2007 Fellows Dinner Photo Gallery
