Since its early days, the College has sought to recognize esteemed lawyers, judges and other public servants with the recognition of Honorary Fellowship. These individuals may not be eligible for election as Fellows, but by reason of their contributions and accomplishments have attained a high degree of respect and eminence in judicial or other roles in the profession or public service.
The American College of Trial Lawyers is the only organization in which every Justice of the United States and Canadian Supreme Courts has accepted Honorary Fellowship.
