Burton Awards in Law

Zachary Andrew McEntyre has been part of King & Spalding LLP since 2006, where he deals with complex commercial litigation. One thing Zachary Andrew McEntyre has been recognized for during his time with the firm is the quality of his legal writing, for which he received a Burton Award.

Burton Awards are presented for excellence in the field of law in several categories. Members of the largest law firms in the nation can receive Distinguished Law Firm Writing Awards, which are granted for an article published within the last year. The limit on which firms can participate ensures that judges will have time to review all submissions.

One exceptional corporate general counsel receives the Legends in the Law Award each year, and a luncheon is held to honor these individuals at the Members’ Room of the Library of Congress. Awards are also given not to practicing lawyers but to others involved with the legal profession, such as reporters who cover legal issues or law school teachers. Most awards are given each year, but some are granted less frequently, warranted only by an extraordinary contribution to the field.
