Krieger Awa r d
Nominations Sought
by Commissioner John Vineyard
In 1974, the RCBA established a
Meritorious Service Award to recognize those
lawyers or judges who have, over their lifetimes,
accumulated outstanding records of
community service. The award, later named
for James A. Krieger, has since been presented
to James Wortz, Eugene Best, Arthur Swarner,
Arthur Littleworth, Justice James Ward, Fred
Ryneal, John Babbage, Patrick Maloy, Ray
Sullivan, Justice John Gabbert, Jane Carney,
Judge Victor Miceli, Justice Manuel Ramirez,
Kathleen Gonzales and Terry Bridges.
The award is not presented every year.
Instead, it is given only when the extraordinary
accomplishments of particularly deserving
individuals come to the attention of the
award committee.
The award committee is now soliciting
nominations for the award. Those eligible
to be considered for the award must be (1)
lawyers, inactive lawyers, judicial officers, or
former judicial officers (2) who are currently
practicing or sitting in Riverside County or
have in the past practiced or sat in Riverside
County, and (3) who, over their lifetime,
have accumulated an outstanding record of
community service or community achievement.
That service may be limited to the
legal community, but must not be limited to
the RCBA.
Current members of the RCBA Board of
Directors are not eligible, nor are the current
members of the award committee.
If you would like to have anyone considered
for this most prestigious of RCBA
awards, please submit a nomination to the
RCBA office not later than April 13, 2009.
The nomination should be in writing and
should contain, at a minimum, the name
of the nominee and a description of his or
her record of community service and other
accomplishments. The identities of both the
nominees and their nominators shall remain
strictly confidential.
Commissioner John Vineyard is the chair of the
Krieger Meritorious Service Award Committee
and a past president of the RCBA.
