The Association's Workers' Compensation Section was established in 1995 to address the specialized needs of lawyers practicing workers' compensation law. The section maintains a number of subcommittees providing opportunities for lawyers to learn, enhance their skills, and serve their community: Arts in the Court, Community Service and Charitable Events, Continuing Legal Education (CLE), Diversity and Inclusion, Events, Fundraising, Liaison, and Marketing and Communications. Each year, the Section holds the Workers' Compensation Awards luncheon in April to present all awards given by the Section. The Martha J. Hampton award is presented annually to the attorney or judge who best exemplifies unique compassion and dedication to her clients, and her professionalism, scholarship and good will with her peers. In conjunction with the award, a charitable contribution is made each year on behalf of the Section, to Kids' Chance, an organization helping students who have lost a parent to a work-related injury to gain a higher level of education. The Irvin Stander Award is also presented on an annual basis at this luncheon. This award is given by the Section in memory of Workers' Compensation Judge Irvin Stander, a Philadelphia Judge who was well known for his prolific writings on workers' compensation and zoning law. The Irvin Stander Award recognizes an outstanding graduating law student who has demonstrated legal acumen or scholarship in the areas of administrative or workers' compensation law. The recipient of this prestigious award receives a $2,500.00 prize to defray the cost of the annual bar examination, as well as a plaque commemorating this honor. In addition to the aforementioned awards, the Executive Board of the Section periodically approves other awards such as the Lifetime Achievement award and Friend of the Philadelphia Bar Association – Workers' Compensation award, which honor outstanding contributions to the Section.
