The Lifetime Achievement Award, the Elder and Disability Law Section's highest honor, is bestowed on an attorney with an established history of distinguished service who has made significant contributions in the field of elder and disability law throughout his or her career. This year's Lifetime Achievement Award recognized Mr. Vanarelli's advocacy in elder and disability law, including a number of precedent-setting legal victories which advanced the rights of seniors and persons with disabilities.
