Lifetime Achievement Award, given to a judge whose career exemplifies long-term commitment to excellence in law and dedication to public service in the South Florida community.

Community Service Award, given to a judge whose commitment to social justice and helping others has made a significant impact throughout South Florida.

Honorable Theodore “Ted” Klein Special Recognition Award, given to either a judge or an attorney whose commitment to advocacy and peer mentoring has made a profound impact on legal community colleagues. This award honors the late Ted Klein, of blessed memory, who always believed in setting a meaningful example inside and outside the courtroom.
