Ellis Island’s history came alive last night for the Liberty Achievement Award ceremony from the ABA’s Tort Trial and Insurance Practice Section (TIPS). As we mentioned in a previous post, West is proud to sponsor the award.
The inaugural Liberty Awards were handed out to Judge Bernice Donald, U.S. District Court, Tennessee; and Catherine Christian, president of the New York County Bar Association, for their contributions and commitment to diversity and the law.
We have some photos of the evening on our Flickr page. We also put together this highlight video of the evening, featuring comments from the winners and from Peter Bennett, chair of TIPS:
