MIAMI — The Health Law Section of The Florida Bar is now accepting nominations for their first-ever “Top 10 Under 40” accolade, designed to recognize the promising young lawyers who are shaping the future of health law in the state. Interested parties have until May 15 to submit nominations for candidates who are making significant strides in this vital legal field.
This new initiative aims to identify ten exemplary Florida-licensed attorneys under the age of 40, celebrating their professional achievements, their dedication to community service, and their active involvement in the legal community, particularly within health law.
Jamaal R. Jones, Chair of the Health Law Section and a practitioner at Jones Health Law in Miami, expressed enthusiasm for the program. He highlighted that this recognition is intended not only to celebrate the individual achievements of young attorneys but also to inspire others within the profession. Jones emphasized the opportunity this platform provides for increased visibility, professional collaboration, and further opportunities for those honored.
The “Top 10 Under 40” honorees will be publicly recognized through various channels including an announcement in The Florida Bar News, the Health Law Section’s newsletter, and across multiple social media platforms. An awards presentation to honor the selected attorneys is scheduled during the Health Law Section Executive Council meeting, taking place in June at the Annual Florida Bar Convention in Boca Raton.
To be eligible for this prestigious recognition, nominees must be under the age of 40 at the time of nomination and should have been licensed to practice law for no more than 15 years. Additionally, they must be in good standing with The Florida Bar and be active members of its Health Law Section.
The nomination process is inclusive, allowing for self-nominations with a reference from one attorney, as well as peer nominations from fellow Florida-licensed attorneys. All submissions must include the nominee’s resume or CV, providing a detailed account of their legal career and contributions.
“This initiative is about recognizing the future leaders in health law,” Jones said, reiterating the importance of the “Top 10 Under 40” in fostering a new generation of legal professionals who are not only excelling at their craft but also positively impacting their communities and the broader legal profession.
