Lawyers Mutual congratulates John McCabe on receiving the North Carolina Advocates for Justice Founder’s Award.

Those who know John understand that this recognition is about far more than his accomplishments as a lawyer. Throughout his career, John has distinguished himself as a skilled advocate, a respected leader, and a generous mentor who has helped countless lawyers along the way. He has dedicated his professional life to serving others, advancing the cause of justice, and strengthening North Carolina’s legal community.

The Founder’s Award is the highest honor bestowed by the North Carolina Advocates for Justice and recognizes extraordinary service to justice and to the organization. It is a fitting tribute to a lawyer whose impact extends well beyond the courtroom.

John’s contributions to the NCAJ have been substantial. He has served in numerous leadership roles, including President of the organization, and previously received both the Ebbie Award for dedication to the NCAJ and the Henson McCabe Miller Leadership Award in recognition of his service and leadership.

In addition to his service to the profession, John has earned the respect of his peers through decades of excellence in practice, including recognition by Best Lawyers in America, North Carolina Super Lawyers, North Carolina’s Legal Elite, and numerous other professional honors. Yet those who know him best would likely point first to his integrity, humility, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to helping others. We are grateful for John’s many contributions to the legal profession and join his friends and colleagues in celebrating this well-deserved recognition. Congratulations, John, on this outstanding achievement.
