Kutak Dodds Awards Information
Award Information
Established in 1989 and presented each year at NLADA's Annual Dinner in Washington, DC, the Kutak-Dodds Prize honors an equal justice advocate "who, through the practice of law, has contributed in a significant way to the enhancement of the human dignity and quality of life of those persons unable to afford legal representation." The award is jointly sponsored by NLADA and the Robert J. Kutak Foundation and carries a cash prize of $10,000. Beginning in 2001, two prizes are given each year, one for exceptional work in civil legal aid and the other for outstanding service in public defense. The Kutak-Dodds Prize is named for the Late Robert J. Kutak, a member of the first Legal Services Corporation Board and the late Kenneth R. Dodds, former partners in the Omaha office of Kutak Rock. Bob Kutak dedicated his career to public service and legal education, and Ken Dodds was well known for his life-long interest in providing legal services to the disadvantaged.Â

I was quite impressed with the attitude these two individual has. They are certified generous that they heart belongs to those underprivileged who don't have the enough access to the proper legal process. These people are what we need today because there are a lot of innocent civilian who were deprive of certain right because they for have the access for a free legal counsel. Pity are those people who were a victim of such instances. We are opt to follow the law because non compliance of which will correspond to a particular sanction. Even during the working hours did you know that texting at work isn't protected by law.
