Call for Nominations:  Public Legal Education Award

      The Council on Public Legal Education is accepting nominations for
its Flame of Democracy Award, given to an individual, organization or
program in Washington state that has made a significant contribution to
increasing the public's understanding of law, the justice system or
government. The mission of the CPLE, a committee of the Washington State
Bar Association, is to promote public understanding of the law and civic
rights and responsibilities.

     First presented in 2002 to the late journalist Richard Larsen, the
award was established to highlight the important educational work being
done by teachers, lawyers and judges, the media, and a variety of
advocacy and community organizations and individuals. Other recipients
have been

*         the Yakima County Prosecuting Attorney's Office for its school
outreach program,

*         the Northwest Justice Project for its self-help website, and

*         the League of Women Voters of Washington Education Fund for
its numerous efforts to strengthen citizen knowledge of and
participation in government.

      Nominations, which are due December 1, 2008, should be made in the
form of a letter (maximum 500 words) describing the nominee's work and
how it addresses the mission of the CPLE. The letter also should include
the name of a reference who can provide additional information about the
nominee. Supporting materials may be submitted; please limit print
materials to 10 pages and audio-visual materials to 30 minutes.
Self-nominations are encouraged. All nominations will be kept
confidential. Nominations should be addressed to: Pam Inglesby, WSBA,
1325 Fourth Avenue, Suite 600, Seattle, WA 98101-2539. Email submissions
