Retired Alaska Supreme Court Justice Dana Fabe has been awarded the 2017 Sandra Day O’Connor Award for the Advancement of Civics Education. Justice Fabe worked on a series of projects to promote awareness of the courts in schools and among the general public. The award, given by the National Center for State Courts, recognizes Justice O’Connor’s work in promoting civics awareness since her retirement from the Supreme Court in 2006.
I had the honor of meeting Justice Fabe once, and she is certainly a worthy recipient of this award.
