Throughout the Mountain State and beyond , lawyers are dedicating their careers to advancing the legal profession and helping others find justice . These individuals work tirelessly in courtrooms , legal organizations and educational institutions to ensure the rights of all individuals are protected . Their commitment to service and unwavering dedication to justice are detrimental to the West Virginia legal community ’ s ongoing impact .
To celebrate and honor these hardworking professionals and their meaningful
contributions , West Virginia Executive ( WVE ), in collaboration with the West Virginia University ( WVU ) College of Law , established the Lawyers & Leaders awards program . Since its inception , this program has highlighted the work being done by those in the legal field who go above and beyond to make a difference .
