Distinction. This award is the OWBA's highest award for professional 
excellence and is bestowed annually on a deserving attorney who

of women and in improving the legal profession in the State of Ohio. It 
gives me great pleasure to wish Ms. Rabin my warmest congratulations on 
this truly special occasion.

Louis, Missouri.

of the Bankruptcy Trustees for the United States Bankruptcy Court for 
the Northern District of Ohio since 1983, a life member of the Eighth 
Judicial Conference, and a founding member of the Ohio Women's Bar 
Association.

  On April 29, 2005, OWBA President Halle M. Hebert will be presenting 
Ms. Rabin with the Ohio Women's Bar Association's Justice Alice Robie
