The award goes to an individual or institution that has contributed the most to the advancement of professional ethics. Syracuse will receive the award on Feb. 16.
“Vince Syracuse has given back so much to the legal profession through his continuing legal education programs on ethics and civility, as well as his well-read column, the Attorney Professionalism Forum,” said Richard Hamburger of Melville (Hamburger, Maxson, Yaffe & Martingale), chair of the Committee on Professional Ethics. “We are pleased to honor his contributions to the field.”
Since 2012, he has written the monthly Attorney Professionalism Forum in NYSBA’s Bar Journal, covering a variety of topics of interest to the bench and bar.

He is also a co-author of the chapter on the ethics of virtual lawyering in NYSBA’s eBook Virtual Lawyering: A Practical Guide, which was published in August 2020. He has also served as chair of the Commercial and Federal Litigation Section.
