[DV_listserv] FW: [MultiJurisdictionDV] Announcing the 2013 Sharon L. Corbitt Award Nominations

[Domestic Violence issues]

Hello, All:

I was asked to forward this to the listserv.

The person requesting the posting astutely pointed out, "it would be nice to recognize one of the many superstars in our region".

I agree! We have a ton of talented lawyers-prosecutors, legal aid attorneys, counsel for non-profit organizations, judges, etc, who do amazing work every day.  I'd love to see one of Oregon's dedicated legal professionals recognized!

--Erin
