Bar Honors Standouts

The St. Petersburg Bar Association celebrated Law Day with a May 13 luncheon to honor Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge George W. Greer, former St. Petersburg Times Publisher Andrew Barnes and St. Petersburg City Attorney John C. Wolfe.

For the first time in its history, the association honored the same judge for two consecutive years with its Judicial Appreciation Award. The reason for doing so, said attorney John Biesinger III, was Greer's grace and professionalism while facing an unprecedented attack during his handling of the Terri Schiavo end-of-life case.
