Lukins & Annis PS announced that Dave Nevala has been recognized by the International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) with a 2010 Distinguished Peer Award for outstanding achievements in championing open source software. This was the inaugural year of the annual awards program, and ILTA was pleased with the number and diversity of nominees across several categories. ILTA's Distinguished Peer Award program recognizes premiership and provides a forum for peer-nominated, peer-judged innovations in technology.

For over three decades, ILTA members have faced challenges in their law firms and law departments, and they've shared their struggles and their successes along the way. ILTA's inaugural Distinguished Peer Awards program honors the achievements of those ILTA members who are making technology work for the legal profession. The program recognizes those who have delivered great business value and transformational impact through their innovations and implementations or have been champions in specific areas of focus for their organizations.

Within ILTA's member community, the awards recognize outstanding achievements in organizational and individual excellence. Additionally, a Region of the Year is honored; and our vendors are recognized for superior achievements in innovation.

Recipients were presented their awards during the inaugural award ceremony on August 26 in conjunction with ILTA's annual educational conference, ILTA 2010, held in Las Vegas, Nevada. "On behalf of ILTA, I'd like to congratulate this year's Distinguished Peer Award winners," said Randi Mayes, executive director of ILTA. "We are proud to recognize exceptional technology projects and the champions of those projects, and I applaud and celebrate our winners for sharing their successes."
