Two alumni, Edward M. Ginsburg ’58 and Alan Howard ’87, received the ABA Pro Bono Publico Award, which honors those who have enhanced the human dignity of others by improving or delivering volunteer legal services to the poor.
Ginsburg, who served as an associate justice of the Massachusetts Probate and Family Court for nearly 25 years, was honored for his work with Senior Partners for Justice, a pro bono program he founded at the Volunteer Lawyers Project of the Boston Bar Association in 2002.
Howard, a partner in Crowell & Moring who does extensive pro bono work, represented one of the defendants in the nationally prominent “Jena 6″ proceedings in Louisiana, a case of national prominence for its civil rights implications.
