The Harry L. Carrico Professionalism Award was established in 1991 by the Section on Criminal Law of the Virginia State Bar to recognize an individual (judge, defense attorney, prosecutor, clerk or other citizen) who has made a singular and unique contribution to the improvement of the criminal justice system in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The award is made in memory of the late Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, Harry L. Carrico, who exemplifies the highest ideals and aspirations of professionalism. Chief Justice Carrico was the first recipient of the award which was instituted at the 22nd Annual Criminal Law Seminar in February 1992.
Although the award will only be made from time to time at the discretion of the Board of Governors of the Criminal Law Section, the Board will invite nominations annually. Nominations will be reviewed by a selection committee consisting of former chairs of the section.
