Honors and Awards: Fifty years ago, Mary B. Hocker established the Lon O. Hocker awards to memorialize her husband’s faith in our system of law.  Lon O. Hocker loved the law and believed the law was the foundation of our freedom.  Further, he believed that the courts, and only the courts, could preserve that law, and he believed the trial lawyer was the key to our system of justice.  In Mary’s words, Lon O. Hocker recognized the importance of trial lawyers “in seeing that all who came before the courts of justice were given a fair trial regardless of race, color, condition of purse, or religion.”  The award is presented annually to three lawyers 36 years of age or younger – one each from the St. Louis, Kansas City and outstate Missouri areas – in recognition of outstanding trial work., Lon O. Hocker Memorial Trial Lawyer Award, Missouri Bar Foundation, 1986
