Connie Eyster received the 2004 Young Lawyer of the Year Award from the Boulder County Bar Association (BCBA) for her many hours of service on behalf of the Bar Association and for her initiative in organizing and maintaining the Boulder County Pro Se Probate Program through which BCBA attorneys volunteer their time to assist individuals with probate forms, questions and issues. The Program greatly reduces the inefficiencies of the probate process for the court and for petitioners and has been a remarkable success, praised by the court, volunteers and public alike.
