JUDGE BLACK AWARDThe Black Award was created and first awarded during the Section’s second year. Ms. Berry and Ms. Black told Mr. Spain how much this award as meant to their family.
2011 2010 We gave our section's highest award (the Judge Norman W. Black award) posthumously to United States District Judge Jerry Buchmeyer for his significant contributions to LGBT legal issues and, in particular, his ruling in Baker v. Wade at our annual meeting in Fort Worth. His daughter and section member Pamela Buchmeyer accepted the award on behalf of her father and family. If you were present, you heard her regaling us with heartwarming stories about her father and his devotion to civil rights including his admonishment of the then-State Bar Board after it denied our section's recognition in 1997. We share with you a wonderful article written by section member Cece Cox about Judge Buchmeyer after his passing last fall: http://www.dallasvoice.com/artman/publish/article_11917.php
