MONTGOMERY, Ala.—Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Sue Bell Cobb has presented the chief justice’s outstanding leadership award to Daphne attorney Samuel N. Crosby. Crosby was singled out for the award in recognition of his service as president of the Alabama State Bar.

One of the community service projects begun during his term and continuing today is “Wills for Heroes.” This pro bono program is a statewide initiative that provides free simple wills, advance healthcare directives and powers of attorney to firefighters, law enforcement personnel and emergency medical personnel.

Crosby practices with the law firm of Stone, Granade & Crosby P.C., with offices in Bay Minette, Daphne and Foley.

The 16,000-member Alabama State Bar promotes the professional responsibility, competence and satisfaction of its members, improving the administration of justice and increasing public understanding and respect for the law.
