The award was presented during the Alaska Bar Association’s convention in Juneau.

The award is named after former Alaska Supreme Court Justice Jay Rabinowitz. Justice Rabinowitz dedicated his life to public service. The Alaska Bar Foundation established the award to recognize exceptional individuals who dedicate their life to public service.
