MBC is very pround to announce that John Hollander was awarded the Carleton Medal by the County of Carleton Law Association!  This is an amazing honour and John is well deserving of this award.  

The Carleton Medal is given to a lawyer who is most deserving of recognition for great diligence, high ideals and outstanding leadership in the practice of law throughout their career. Those who will receive the medal will have made a significant contribution to the profession of law, whether as a solicitor in effectively performing services in that position, as a barrister in attaining an excellent reputation in the courts, as an academic, or for a single act of notable distinction that advances the ideals of the profession.
