Missouri Bar Foundation selects Nikki Cannezzaro as recipient of Lon O. Hocker Memorial Trial Award

The Missouri Bar Foundation recently selected Nikki Cannezzaro as a recipient of the Lon O. Hocker Memorial Trial Award which recognizes lawyers who have demonstrated an unusual proficiency in the art of trial advocacy. Fifty years ago, Mary B. Hocker established the Award to memorialize her husband's faith in our system of law. Lon O. Hocker believed that the courts, and only the courts, could preserve the law, and he believed the trial lawyer was the key to our system of justice. Ms. Cannezzaro was presented the Award at the Missouri Bar's annual meeting in St. Louis in September of this year.
