Award Recipients

The Al J. Cone Lifetime Achievement Award was first awarded in 1990 by President John Romano to honor the accomplishments of Al J. Cone, a founder of the Florida Justice Association® and its first elected president (1961-62). Since its inception, Al served at one time or another in the following capacities for the FJA: President, Board of Director, AAJ Governor, volunteer lobbyist, chair and member of several committees, including the legislative, CLE and budget committees, to name a few. As the award reads in part:

Al exemplified each of these criteria to the fullest. The recipients of this award have all followed Al in his remarkable footsteps.

B.J. & Tom Masterson Award for Professionalism – In honor of B.J. Masterson, a former President of the Florida Justice Association® and a lawyer who, in his lifetime of practicing law, epitomized ethical professionalism and who was a model to which all lawyers should aspire. In 2019 the award was renamed to include B.J.’s son, Tom, in recognition of Tom’s contributions to the legal arena during his years practicing law.

Criteria for Selection: 1) That the person be an excellent advocate; 2) That the person have had a distinguished career given the length of that career; 3) That the person have an unimpeachable reputation with both the defense and plaintiff’s bar for ethical and moral behavior, and fair play in the practice of law; 4) That the person, within the two years preceding the nomination, have made a specific and noteworthy contribution advancing the cause of professionalism in the practice of law.

Guidelines for Selection: 1) The person need not be involved in the Florida Justice Association, although the person’s contribution to the FJA would be considered; 2) The nominee should be approved by the Board of Directors; 3) This award will be given at the Founders Luncheon. It is not necessary, though, that there be an award given on a yearly basis. It is the expressed intention of the FJA that this award not be some sort of “general” award to a general “beauty contest” winner. The award should only be given when the specific criteria have been met, and if there is no particular person clearly deserving in a particular year, then the award should not be given; 4) Each nominee should be nominated by a separate written document including a Curriculum Vitae and any other information concerning the nominee; 5) Persons previously nominated can be nominated again; 6) The person need not be a practicing lawyer.

The Bronze EAGLE recipients are those members who go to great lengths by contributing time and money to our cause. Many of these members have been very involved in EAGLE over the years and continue to be active in EAGLE. Other recipients recognized here are the up & coming fundraisers of our association and we deeply appreciate them.
