In comparison with this «modern» world with its demanding cognitive
criteria and its
high social
ideals, the traditional religions seemed anachronistic and outdated, empty and uncertain, narcissistic and undemanding — and incurably white and bourgeois.
The objective of the Edward F. Hennessey Professionalism Award is to recognize and honor a member of the Connecticut Bar whose career has manifested a dedication to the
highest ideals and standards of the legal profession, so as to provide inspiration to other members of the bar and to honor the memory of Edward F. Hennessey, a lawyer at Robinson + Cole and close friend of Mr. Wade's, whose 41 years at the bar exemplified the
criteria of the award.
