John Minor Wisdom Award

The Wisdom Award is given from time to time in specific recognition of a member’s contributions to the work of the Institute or a person’s outstanding achievement in the area of civil rights and related fields following the example of Judge Wisdom. ALI Reporters, officers, and Council members are not eligible for consideration because one purpose of the Award is to recognize members who do not have an official role in Institute projects. Former ALI Reporters, former ALI officers, and Council emeriti are eligible for consideration after their official service has concluded.

Members who wish to suggest a candidate should submit a letter briefly describing the candidate's qualifications for the award. Letters should be emailed to ali@ali.org.
