Former governor Warren E. Hearnes of Charleston and Cape Girardeau lawyer John P. Bradshaw were honored last week by the Missouri Bar.
Hearnes, who recently retired as executive director of Southeast Missouri Legal Services, received the President's Award at a ceremony in St. Louis Wednesday. Bradshaw was honored Thursday as a "senior counselor" at the opening luncheon of the 118th annual meeting of the Missouri Bar in St. Louis.
Bradshaw was among 115 lawyers who were given the senior counselor title, which is bestowed upon lawyers who have reached 75 or who have been a member of the Missouri Bar for 50 years.
