2009 Kirby Award
Jaye L. Rancourt

“I didn’t know Bob Kirby, but I work with several people who did and have told me wonderful things about him as a person and as an attorney. I recognize the significance of receiving this award in his honor. I was fortunate to have mentors like Jackie Colburn and others from the NH Public Defender early in my career. The attorneys I work with at Brennan, Caron, Lenehan & Iacopino serve as a model for me and deserve credit for helping to shape my professional identity.”

Robert E. Kirby Award

Frank Rowe Kenison Award | Robert E. Kirby Award

The Robert E. Kirby Award was established in 1996 to honor the memory of Bob Kirby, a young lawyer "of great skill, civility and good humor" who died that year at the age of 35. Kirby was an attorney with the Concord law firm of Gallagher, Callahan & Gartrell.

The purpose of the award is to honor Bob's memory and to remind all of us that decency, courtesy and perspective neither inhibits nor defeats excellent advocacy. The Kirby Award recipient is an attorney 35 years old or younger who demonstrates the traits of civility, courtesy, perspective and excellent advocacy.

Nominations for the Kirby Award are solicited in the winter.
