Jane Ervin receives Liberty Bell Award

The Lehigh County Bar Association presented Jane Ervin, CEO, CSC, with the Liberty Bell Award at its luncheon on May 1, 2012. The award, presented on Law Day, recognizes Mrs. Ervin’s work advocating for children, especially those who are abused and neglected.

 The Liberty Bell Award was established more than 40 years ago to acknowledge outstanding community service. Each group presenting the award is free to establish its own criteria. Many groups present it to a layperson, a man or woman who has promoted better understanding of the rule of law, encouraged greater respect for law and the courts, stimulated a sense of civic responsibility, or contributed to good government in the community. It is often presented to an individual lawyer or judge or to an entire community organization.
