One hundred twenty-three attorneys will be honored for a half-century of dedication to the practice of law as members of The Florida Bar during The Florida Bar’s Annual Convention Wednesday-Saturday in Orlando. To receive recognition, attorneys must be members in good standing and attain their 50th anniversary of admittance to the practice of law in Florida in 2007.
Among the honorees are judges, politicians, professors, founders of prominent law firms and Florida Bar leaders. The Florida Bar celebrates this year’s honorees for their service to the community and to the legal profession.
The 50-year members will be honored at a luncheon sponsored by The Florida Bar’s Young Lawyers Division, Friday, at 12:30 p.m. Those being honored from the Fourth Judicial Circuit are John Mathews McNatt Jr. of Atlantic Beach, Jack H. Chambers, John Doggett Corse and Hon. Gerald Bard Tjoflat of Jacksonville, James Ernest Yonge of Jacksonville Beach and Henry Fletcher Martin of Orange Park.
