Spokane defense attorney John Clark will be honored Wednesday by the Spokane County Bar Association.

The 2010 Smithmoore P. Myers Professionalism Award, named after the former U.S. magistrate judge and dean of the Gonzaga University School of Law, will be presented at a ceremony at the Davenport Hotel.
