Thank you for your interest. Nominations for 2012 are closed. The 2013 contest will open November 1.

ACC Docket's first "Top 10 30-Somethings Award" will recognize excellence in the in-house legal profession among attorneys between the ages of 30 and 39.

Eligibility: Attorneys must be between age 30 and 39, and show outstanding achievement in their profession. Self-nominating is acceptable.

Award: The 10 recipients will be featured in the "Top 10 30-Somethings" supplement of ACC Docket's July/August Career Issue.

Criteria for selection:

• The nominee has added value to his or her legal department, company and/or organization.
  
  
• The nominee has added value to the in-house community through participation in bar associations, advocacy efforts, and/or cases that champion the in-house community or advance diversity in the profession.
  
  
• The nominee has experience in pro bono and/or community service work.
  
  
• The nominee facilitates exceptional communication skills within the legal department, and between the legal department and business clients.
  
  
• Participation in ACC is not valued more than participation in other bar associations. The depth and context of participation is what is being scored.

In-house peers who serve on the ACC Docket Advisory Board will act as judges.
