The nominee must have demonstrated commitment to the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion.
The nomination may be submitted by anyone, including self-nominations. All nominations require two letters of support: One from a professional member of LSAC, and one from anyone in the institution who was impacted by the nominee, ideally a person who benefits from the nominee's work.
