Purpose of Bernard E. Witkin, Esq., Award

The Law Library Justice Foundation presents the Bernard E. Witkin, Esq., Award annually to honor members of the San Diego legal community for civic leadership and excellence in the teaching, practice, enactment, or adjudication of the law.

The Witkin Fund is used to purchase books and materials for law practitioners for the San Diego County Public Law Library, in keeping with the life and writings of Bernard E. Witkin, Esq. It is aimed at resources for the practicing bar and the legal community in general, as distinct from the Law Library's other mission, to help pro per litigants. The Witkin Award Dinner is, appropriately enough, the primary fund raiser for the fund since the Witkin Awards celebrates members of the legal community and their good works.
