In 2002, the Allegheny County Bar Foundation created the Lynette Norton Memorial Fund in tribute to Ms. Norton, an accomplished trial lawyer, insurance
law expert, and active member of the bar, who passed away suddenly in March
of 2002. This fund will provide an annual award to a student graduating from the Duquesne University School of Law who has demonstrated academic excellence, skills in oral advocacy through moot court programs, and a keen sense of ethics and professionalism. The foundation worked with a committee, comprised of Tybe Ann Brett, Christine Donohue, Kate Fagan, Nora Barry Fischer, Bridget Gillespie, Amy Hay, Vicki Horne, Kerry Kearney, Michelle Lally, Lisa Pupo Lenihan, Lisa Tourek, and Tracey Vinson, to create the Lynette Norton Memorial Fund.
As of February 6, 2008, the foundation has received $20,835.50 in charitable gifts in support of the Lynette Norton Fund.
The foundation continues to accept charitable contributions in support of the Lynette Norton Memorial Fund on an ongoing basis. For more information about the fund or how to make a charitable gift to the fund, please contact Lorrie Albert at the foundation at 412-402-6640 or lalbert@acba.org.
