CALIFORNIA STATE BAR ENDORSEMENT

This was my very first Pro Bono Award awarded to me by the State Bar of California on behalf of the San Diego Volunteer Lawyer Program. The award is called the "Wiley W. Manuel Award." I spent 50 hours of pro bono legal work in 2001 for a variety of clients. Here is what it says:

The State Bar of California, the Board of Govenors of the State Bar of California presents The Wiley W. Manuel Award For Pro Bono Legal Services to Mark Blane for voluntary provision of legal services to the poor. Signed by Karen S. Nobumoto, President of the California State Bar 2001-2002

Dated April 19, 2002
