The CCBL Executive Committee created the Chief Justice John P. Flaherty Award in 2001 in recognition of the Chief Justice’s efforts to encourage the work of the Pennsylvania Bar Association and its Conference of County Bar Leaders. The award is given to a qualified Pennsylvania Bar Association member to recognize an outstanding effort to promote the objects and purposes of the Conference of County Bar Leaders and to improve the legal profession, the justice system or the community. The award need not be given on an annual basis, but rather when the effort should be recognized.

Past recipients of the award are :

John J. Bagnato (Cambria County)
C. Dale McClain (Montgomery County)
Judge Rea Boylan Thomas (Bucks County)
Louis N. Teti (Chester County)
Eugene W. Lederer (Centre County)
