Each year, The Florida Bar Government Lawyer Section honors one public servant as the recipient of the Claude Pepper Award for extraordinary and exemplary contributions to our profession.
This year's winner is Richard Jay Weiss, who spent 39 years representing, counseling and advocating for numerous governmental entities.
