The Carol Creighton Award for Contribution to Public Law is awarded annually to recognize an outstanding government lawyer for exemplary contribution to public service and the profession.
The award is to recognize a lawyer's exceptional achievement in the Ontario public service either over a career or for specific contributions to public law.
Eligible recipients will include lawyers currently or previously employed by the Government of Ontario who have been ALOC members. This includes excluded lawyers (i.e., Ministry of Government Services lawyers) but does not include Crown Attorneys.
