WilmerHale was recently honored with the John Minor Wisdom Public Service and Professionalism Award from the American Bar Association's Litigation Section at the section’s annual conference in New York.
The award is presented to individuals and law firms who have made "outstanding contributions to the quality of justice in their communities, ensuring that the legal system is open and available to all." Since 2001, only four other firms have received the award.
The Innocence Project, a nonprofit organization that assist prisoners who could be proven innocent through DNA testing, nominated WilmerHale for the award based on our work on behalf of Martin Tankleff and Dewey Bozella.
