Dallas Bar Foundation's (DBF) Fellows Program
Dallas Bar Foundation (DBF) Fellows are the sustaining force behind the Dallas Bar Association's philanthropic efforts. The Fellows are perpetual sponsors for scholarships, clinics, special events, issue advocacy, and other charitable grants of the DBF.
When someone is designated a DBF Fellow, his or her name is forever associated with the tenets of our mission: law-related education; legal services for the poor; historical preservation; and furtherance of justice.
About the DBF Fellows Program
Fellowships are awarded only to Dallas Bar Association members who embody DBF virtues. Election to the Fellows is evidence of professional distinction and constitutes a professional honor. Fellows are attorneys who have demonstrated a high ethical standard and a commitment to the cause of justice and the welfare of the community.

At the beginning of each year, current DBF Fellows may nominate attorneys to be elected as Fellows. The nomination form is available online (Fellows Nomination Form). The nominee receives an invitation to submit a Fellows Application Form and Fellows Pledge Form to the DBF. The DBF Fellows Chair submits the name for approval to the DBF Board of Trustees. Each new DBF Fellow is introduced each year at the Annual Fellows Luncheon and is recognized in the luncheon program.
Annual Fellows Justinian Award
The Fellows Justinian Award is the most prestigious honor of the Dallas Bar Foundation and is presented each year at the Annual Fellows Luncheon in honor of an attorney who has achieved and consistently demonstrated the highest levels of professional excellence in a substantive area of the law.
