Lydia Horan Caparosa honored with Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Michael K. Smith Excellence in Service Award
On July 22, 2024, the Pennsylvania Bar Association (PBA) released a statement highlighting Lydia Caparosa on her recent recognition from the Young Lawyers Division (YLD). During the PBA's Summer Summit in mid-July at Camelback Resort in Tannersville, Lydia was honored and recognized as the recipient of the YLD Michael K. Smith Excellence in Service Award.
The award is named in memory of a young Philadelphia lawyer committed to providing legal services for low-income people and to offering law-related educational programs to students. It is presented to a Pennsylvania young lawyer who, through his or her exemplary personal and professional conduct, reminds lawyers of their professional and community responsibilities.
Lydia is the YLD At Large Chair to Committee/Section Liaisons and a PBA Insurance/Trust Fund trustee. She has played a vital role in creating and implementing Project LITIGATE, which stands for Lawyers Initiative to Improve Next Generation Attorneys’ Trial Experience, a statewide initiative designed to help aspiring trial attorneys get earlier exposure to, and involvement in, the litigation process. Lydia has devoted numerous hours to advancing the interests of young lawyers.
Congratulations, Lydia!
