Compleat Lawyer Awards

The Compleat Lawyer Awards were established in 1992 by the USC Joseph F. Rice School of Law Alumni Council (formerly the Alumni Association) to recognize alumni for outstanding civic and professional accomplishments. Recipients are individuals who have made significant contributions to the legal profession and exemplify the highest standards of professional competence, ethics and integrity.
