Nominations for the 2008 InnovAction Awards are now open until June 2, 2008

The InnovAction Awards is a worldwide search for lawyers, law firms, and other deliverers of legal services who are currently engaged in some extraordinarily innovative efforts. The goal is to demonstrate to the legal community what can be created when passionate professionals, with big ideas and strong convictions, are determined to make a difference. Each year, the College of Law Practice Management presents the coveted InnovAction Awards to those unsung heroes and rising stars within the legal profession who dare to think differently and succeed by doing so.

If you know of a law firm that is truly innovative, I encourage you to nominate them for a "Nova". We need to celebrate and publicize innovation in our profession in order to encourage more firms to try new things. Click on the banner to learn more.
