Reece Smith Jr. Public Service Award at its annual Inns of Court Banquet in St. Petersburg on Jan. 25. Helaine M. Barnett, who has led numerous legal service programs for the poor, presented the William Reece Smith Jr. Distinguished Lecture at the event. Barnett said the nation&#8217;s economic condition is placing greater numbers of Americans at the poverty level without adequate access to justice.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;More and more Americans go to court unrepresented,&#8221; said Barnett. &#8220;Although some individuals may choose to go to court without counsel, most pro se litigants have no choice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now an attorney at Carlton Fields, Blue is a 1963 Stetson Law alumnus who has served the legal profession for decades as an attorney, a mediator and a judge. As Chief Judge of the Second District Court of Appeal, Blue authored more than 500 appellate opinions. Blue served on The Florida Bar Board of Governors, chaired the Local Bar Liaison Committee, and served as president of the Manatee County Bar Association. In 1983, Blue directed the Division of Florida Community Colleges, overseeing 28 community colleges. He also coordinated a program for the 1983 legislative session on higher education. He served in the U.S. Army from 1954-1956.<\/p>\n<table width=\"345\" align=\"right\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"7\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"326\">\n<div><strong>Watch Video &#8211; 53 sec<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>\n<div><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"321\" height=\"259\" src=\"http:\/\/www.law.stetson.edu\/mediaplayer.swf\" flashsrc=\"http:\/\/www.law.stetson.edu\/mediaplayer.swf\" isflash=\"true\" flashvars=\"file=http:\/\/gpiis03.law.stetson.edu\/media\/on-demand\/inn_of_court_2010_keynote_clip.flv&amp;image=http:\/\/justice.law.stetson.edu\/photos\/inns_speaker_tn.jpg\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" bgcolor=\"undefined\"><\/embed><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>\n<div>Helaine M.
