2016 Distinguished Intern Alumni Award: Emily L. Seymore
“Emily is part of the next generation of lawyers who are not just talking about problems with our courts, but who is working to bring about systemic reform.”
2016 Distinguished PILI Fellow Alumni Award: Kristen E. Hudson
“Kristen has a heart of gold and the tenacity of a tiger. A true believer in pro bono, she clearly has a lifetime commitment to it.”
2016 Pro Bono Initiative Award: Pro Bono Network
“PBN has carved a niche for itself in expanding pro bono services through its ability to connect talented, service-minded attorneys with limited availability, with substantive volunteer opportunities they may not have otherwise discovered.”
2016 Distinguished Public Service Award: Harold C. Hirshman
“Harold Hirshman is that rare attorney – an extraordinary litigator who also has a deep compassion for the disenfranchised.”
