At its recent Annual Meeting, the Federation of Defense & Corporate Counsel (FDCC) announced that ALF Executive Vice President & General Counsel Lawrence S. Ebner is this year's recipient of the John Appleman Award.
The FDCC is composed of approximately 1,100 civil litigation defense counsel and 300 corporate counsel, each of whom is peer-nominated and peer-vetted before being invited to join.
Through the Appleman Award, "the FDCC honors the Substantive Law Section Chair who has made the most outstanding contribution to the advancement of the FDCC's educational goals through the work of his or her Section. Presented annually since 1984, the award carries the name of the late John Alan Appleman, a distinguished and widely recognized insurance law scholar who served as President of the Federation from 1950 to 1952."
Larry has served as Chair of FDCC's Appellate Law Section since 2023. In that role he has been actively involved in creating FDCC publications and presentations, and networking opportunities, on a variety of appellate law topics, many of which are of particular interest to defense and corporate counsel whose practices are primarily devoted to trial-court proceedings.
Commenting on the award, ALF Chairman & President Dan Fisk stated that "Larry Ebner, as a nationally recognized paragon of professional excellence in appellate advocacy in the public interest, and as a generous mentor to many, highly deserves this honor!"
