Stanly native receives law award

Tuesday, August 26, 2008 Wade M. Smith of Raleigh is the 2008 recipient of the North Carolina Bar Associa-tion’s H. Brent McKnight Renaissance Lawyer Award. The award was presented during the President’s Luncheon at the NCBA Annual Meeting in Atlantic Beach.

Proposed by the NCBA Professionalism Committee and adopted by the Board of Governors in 2006, the award recognizes attorneys who demonstrate the “Renaissance Lawyer” qualities embodied by Judge McKnight who died in 2004 while serving on the U.S. District Court for the Western District of N.C.

Bill Womble Jr. and Ema A. P. Womble, who co-chair the Professionalism Com-mittee’s McKnight Award Subcommittee, joined NCBA President Janet Ward Black in presenting the award.

Smith’s “Renaissance” qualities are widely known. He is an accomplished musician, thespian and scholar, long noted for his athletic achievements and commitment to his church and community.

Smith is a former recipient of the Wake County Bar’s Joseph Branch Professional-ism Award.

Smith was honored this spring by the NCBA’s Criminal Justice Section as the initial recipient of a new award that will recognize distinguished defense attorneys. The award will also be named in honor of Smith.

A native of Albemarle, Smith received his undergraduate degree from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1960 and graduated from the UNC School of Law in 1963. He served as clerk to Judge Carlisle W. Higgins of the N.C. Supreme Court before joining J. Harold Tharring-ton in the formation of Tharrington Smith on Sept. 1, 1964.

A five-term legislator, Smith has served as president of the Wake County Bar Association and the 10th Judicial District Bar, the Wake County Academy of Criminal Trial Lawyers and the UNC General Alumni Association.
