White House to Honor 16 Public Interest Lawyers as Champions of Change – Free Webcast at 2pm Eastern Today
By: Steve Grumm
In a 2pm ceremony today, the White House and the DOJ’s Access to Justice initiative are recognizing 12 outstanding public interest advocates for their extraordinary work in narrowing the civil justice gap. We at NALP are especially proud that longtime NALP member Deb Ellis of NYU Law is among the honorees, as is Todd Belcore, who as a 3L in 2009 won our PSLawNet Pro Bono Publico Award. Congrats, Deb and Todd!
Join in on the fun. The Champions ceremony is being webcast live at 2pm Eastern. You can view it at http://www.whitehouse.gov/live.
And for more on the Champions themselves (we assume the website will be updated today to highlight the newest group of Champions – UPDATE: the website will feature the Champions on Monday, 10/17) go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/champions.
