The Louisiana State Bar Association's (LSBA) Leah Hipple McKay Memorial Award for
               Outstanding Volunteerism is the premier award of the LSBA's Citizen Lawyer Awards program.
               The award is named in honor of the late Leah Hipple McKay, a member of the LSBA and a deeply
               committed volunteer. The award is presented to a Louisiana lawyer or judge who has made
               significant long-term volunteer contributions. The Board of Governors created this award in honor
               of Leah's considerable civic involvement and invaluable service provided to the LSBA during her
               husband Michael W. McKay's 2004-05 presidency.
