Nomination Application PDF

In 1997, the State Bar of Michigan Young Lawyers Section ("YLS") renamed its “Outstanding Young Lawyer Award” in honor of Regeana Myrick, an Executive Council member of the YLS, who passed away in August of that year.

In addition to serving on the YLS Executive Council, Regeana was a dedicated member of many bar associations.  Regeana was committed to education and public service.  She is remembered by her family, friends and colleagues as a bright and charitable woman with many talents who was always mindful of those less fortunate than herself.

Please join the YLS in remembering Regeana Myrick this year at the 6th Annual Young Lawyers Summit on June 8, 2013 at the Greektown Casino-Hotel in Detroit, Michigan, where “Outstanding Young Lawyer Award” award will be presented to a young lawyer who embodies Regeana’s selflessness and scholarly legacy.

Nominations must be received by April 26, 2013.
