The Alabama Law Foundation established the Fellows program in 1995 to recognize esteemed Alabama attorneys for their notable contributions to both their profession and local communities. The inaugural Fellows were former presidents of both the Alabama State Bar and the Alabama Law Foundation.

With a stringent selection process involving recommendations from existing Fellows, the Fellows committee handpicks an exceptional cohort of lawyers who have exhibited an unwavering commitment to bettering their communities and the state. Membership is limited to no more than 1% of Alabama State Bar members.
