Since 2010, the South Florida Chapter of the Federal Bar Association has presented the Edward B. Davis Award for Service to the Federal Bench and Bar. The award came to be known informally as the “NED,” after Judge Davis’s nickname. Several of our currently serving federal judges have received the award, and this year Judge Gayles will join their ranks.
More recently, in 2024, the Chapter created an additional award to recognize lawyers who have gone above and beyond in their service to both the Chapter and the broader federal legal community. Until this year, however, the award did not have a name. It has now been formally christened the Bob Josefsberg Distinguished Service Award. So, we now have both a “NED” and a “BOB.” My understanding is that Judge Davis and Bob Josefsberg, in addition to being universally beloved, were close friends. Oh, and this year’s “BOB” recipient is none other than the blog proprietor himself, David Markus.
I hope you can join us in celebrating these deserving recipients at this year’s FBA Installation and Awards Gala. The event will take place on Saturday, October 3, at the Frost Museum of Science. Individual tickets are not yet on sale, but I will let you know when they become available.
