SERVANT of JUSTICE AWARDS DINNER

27thA N N U A L

Legal Aid is the oldest and largest general civil legal services program in the District of Columbia. Since the height of the Great Depression, Legal Aid lawyers have been making justice real – in individual and systemic ways – for persons living in poverty in D.C. Every year, our lawyers provide high-quality, zealous representation and engage in systemic advocacy in the areas of family law and domestic violence, affordable housing and eviction prevention, public benefits, and consumer law. We also have a nationally-recognized appellate program, the Barbara McDowell Appellate Advocacy Project. The generous support of our donors enables us to make justice real for thousands of D.C. residents every year.

The

Awardof

Marian Wright Edelman, founder and president of the Children’s Defense Fund (CDF), has been an advocate for disadvantaged Americans for her entire professional life. Under her leadership, the CDF has become the nation’s strongest voice for children and families. The CDF’s Leave No Child Behind® mission is to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start, and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities. Mrs. Edelman, a graduate of Spelman College and Yale Law School, began her career in the mid-60s when, as the first black woman admitted to the Mississippi Bar, she directed the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund office in Jackson, Mississippi. In 1968, she moved to Washington, D.C., as counsel for the Poor People’s Campaign that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. began organizing before his untimely death. She founded the Washington Research Project, a public interest law firm and the parent body of the CDF. For two years she served as the Director of the Center for Law and Education at Harvard University and in 1973 began CDF.

Mrs. Edelman served on the Board of Trustees of Spelman College which she chaired from 1976 to 1987 and was the first woman elected by alumni as a member of the Yale University Corporation on which she served from 1971 to 1977. She has received over a hundred honorary degrees and many awards including the Albert Schweitzer Humanitarian Prize, the Heinz Award, and a MacArthur Foundation Prize Fellowship. In 2000, she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award, and the Robert F. Kennedy Lifetime Achievement Award for her writings.

She is a board member of the Robin Hood Foundation and the Association to Benefit Children, and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the American Philosophical Society, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences.

Marian Wright Edelman is married to Peter Edelman, the Carmack Waterhouse Professor of Law and Public Policy at Georgetown University Law Center and Faculty Director of the Center on Poverty and Inequality. Peter is the Chair of the D.C. Access to Justice Commission and was the recipient of the Servant of Justice Award in 1997. They have three sons and four grandchildren.

Thomas S. Williamson, Jr.Covington & Burling LLP

Mr. Williamson is a senior counsel at Covington & Burling. Mr. Williamson’s areas of expertise include employment law, complex litigation, and health and welfare law matters for state governments.

Mr. Williamson was the Solicitor of Labor at the U.S. Department of Labor from 1993 to 1996. He served as Deputy Inspector General for the then-newly formed U.S. Department of Energy from 1978 to 1981. In 2003 Mr. Williamson played a key role in developing the National Football League’s “Rooney Rule,” designed to promote increased opportunities for minorities to become head coaches in the NFL.

From his early years, Mr. Williamson has been a pro bono leader. Early in his career, he served for eight months as a legal services attorney for the Neighborhood Legal Services Program. In 1997 and 1998 Mr. Williamson led a team of Covington litigators before the District Court of Hawaii and the Ninth Circuit defending a constitutional challenge to various restrictive regulations that had been adopted by the Legal Services Corporation (LSC). The leadership of LSC credited Covington’s defense of the regulations with sparing LSC from a total cutoff of Congressional funding. More recently, Mr. Williamson headed a team that assisted in the defense of the District’s same sex marriage law. He has also worked on race and disability discrimination class actions, the most significant being a nationwide class action to obtain dramatic improvements in American Sign Language interpreter services for thousands of deaf employees of the U.S. Postal Service and $3.5 million in compensatory damages. In 2007, the Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs recognized Mr. Williamson with its Wiley Branton Award.

Mr. Williamson held office as President of the DC Bar from 2012 – 2013. He has also served on the board of the D.C. Bar Foundation and on the D.C. Judicial Nominations Commission.

Mr. Williamson is deeply committed to the role that lawyers can play to advance justice and fairness for the most needy. One of his principal goals as Bar president was supporting legal services for those who cannot afford them. As a current Commissioner on the D.C. Access to Justice Commission, Mr. Williamson continues to make expanding access to justice a core part of his personal and professional identity.

Mr. Williamson is married to Shelley Brazier, and they have three children.

Patricia M. Wald served for 20 years, from 1979 to 1999, on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, including five years as Chief Judge. She was the first woman to serve as Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Since retiring from the Court, Judge Wald has served in various capacities including as a Judge on the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and as a Member on the President’s Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the U.S. Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction. Prior to joining the D.C. Circuit, Ms. Wald served as Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs at the Department of Justice. She also previously worked as an attorney at the Mental Health Law Project, the Center for Law and Social Policy, the Neighborhood Legal Services Program, the Office of Criminal Justice at the Department of Justice, and co-director of the Ford Foundation Drug Abuse Research Project. She was also a founding member of the Prettyman-Leventhal American Inn of Court in Washington, D.C.

Ms. Wald is a member of the Global Council of the California International Law Centre at the University of California-Davis School of Law. She has served as a Member of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board since 2012. She is a current Board member and former Chair of the Open Society Justice Initiative. Ms. Wald is a member of the American Law Institute and the American Philosophical Society. Ms. Wald received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in November 2013.

Ms. Wald clerked for the Honorable Jerome Frank on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. She received her B.A. from the Connecticut College for Women in 1948 and her J.D. from Yale Law School in 1951.

Eric H. Holder, Jr. is a partner at the law firm of Covington & Burling. He served as the 82nd Attorney General of the United States from February 2009 to April 2015. He is the third longest serving Attorney General in U.S. history and the first African American to hold that office.

Mr. Holder, a native of New York City, attended public schools there, graduating from Stuyvesant High School where he earned a Regents Scholarship. He attended Columbia College, majored in American History, and graduated in 1973. He graduated from Columbia Law School in 1976.

While in law school, he clerked at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and the Department of Justice’s Criminal Division. Upon graduating, he moved to Washington and joined the Department of Justice as part of the Attorney General’s Honors Program. He was assigned to the newly formed Public Integrity Section in 1976 and was tasked with investigating and prosecuting official corruption on the local, state and federal levels. After serving with distinction in the Public Integrity Section, Mr. Holder was appointed in 1988 to serve as an Associate Judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. In 1993, he left the bench to become United States Attorney for the District of Columbia.

In 1997, Mr. Holder was named by President Clinton to be the Deputy Attorney General, the first African American named to that post. At the end of the Clinton Administration, he joined Covington & Burling LLP as a litigation partner. During his first tenure at Covington, he was heavily involved in pro bono matters, including for the Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia.

Mr. Holder has received numerous honors and awards for his public service and commitment to poverty law and access to justice issues. In 1998, he received Legal Aid’s Servant of Justice Award.

Previous Award Recipients

The Klepper Prize for Volunteer Excellence

Brendan Carroll is a senior associate in the firm’s Food, Drug & Device/FDA Group. Brendan helps clients navigate complex FDA laws and regulations and counsels clients by assessing the regulatory risks in different phases of product development, marketing and advertising. He covers a wide range of FDA-regulated products including drugs, biologics, medical devices, tobacco, food, dietary supplements and cosmetics. His practice also focuses on compliance and enforcement matters related to these FDA-regulated products, including Form FDA 483s and Warning Letters. In addition, Brendan assists clients in developing, designing and implementing legislative and regulatory strategies as an advocate before Members of Congress. Brendan received his J.D. from American University’s Washington College of Law in 2011, where he was a member of The American University Law Review. He received his B.A. from Princeton University, where he studied economics and politics.

Within months of joining Alston & Bird in 2011, Brendan was handling his first Legal Aid pro bono case. Since then, Brendan has been a pro bono force, taking cases himself and serving as our pro bono liaison at the firm, helping to raise awareness about Legal Aid’s work and encouraging his colleagues to handle pro bono matters. He also makes time to mentor and supervise more junior associates on cases. Over the time that Brendan has been promoting the program, he and his colleagues have helped many clients successfully defend eviction cases, assert their right to safe housing, ensure family stability by securing custody and child support orders, and more – making justice real for some of the most vulnerable low-income D.C. residents. Brendan has also been a leader in Legal Aid’s Generous Associates Campaign, first as a Firm Coordinator starting in 2013, and most recently as a city-wide Co-Chair for 2015 and 2016.

Previous Klepper Prize Recipients

For more than 80 years, Legal Aid has been dedicated to making justice real for persons living in poverty in the District. Even with Legal Aid’s steady growth, the demand for legal services for persons living in poverty vastly outstrips our capacity.

Poor persons are far more likely than persons of means to encounter the legal system in cases where the stakes are high. According to the last American Community Survey, some 109,000 D.C. residents – or almost one in five – live in poverty, with one in ten living in extreme poverty, or below half of the poverty line.

At Legal Aid, our lawyers work each and every day to combat injustice and ensure that as many people as possible have access to a lawyer. Each year, we assist clients in hundreds of matters in our four substantive practice areas.

Housing law: We represent tenants who need help having serious housing conditions corrected or avoiding unjust eviction. Our housing lawyers also assist public housing tenants to preserve subsidies, fight illegal rent increases, and work to prevent displacement by development.

Family/Domestic Violence law: We work with victims of domestic violence to ensure their safety and work to achieve family stability through child support and custody cases.

Public Benefits law: We ensure that essential “safety net” benefits and services (including health care, Food Stamps, Supplemental Security Income, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, and Unemployment Insurance) are available to all who are entitled to them under the law.

Consumer law: We provide much-needed representation to help poor and low-income homeowners avoid foreclosure. We also combat abusive debt collection practices and fight foreclosure fraud, and assist clients with a variety of small claims and other consumer issues.

In 2015, we provided legal representation and assistance in more than 3,100 matters, directly benefitting more than 8,800 people. Although so much of our work is unquantifiable – you cannot put a price tag on obtaining custody of your child or avoiding the disruption of eviction or foreclosure – we were able to provide full representation to clients in more than 1,100 matters; in these cases alone we secured more than $2 million in financial benefits to our clients.

In a city with one of the greatest income differences between rich and poor in the nation, Legal Aid is working to make justice real for D.C.’s most vulnerable residents.

About Us Signature Projects

The Barbara McDowell Appellate Advocacy Project, named after the first Director of the Project, renowned Supreme Court litigator Barbara McDowell, litigates important cases affecting persons living in poverty before the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. Legal Aid’s Court-Based Projects locate lawyers at the courthouse in order to provide same-day legal services, including temporary representation, to some of the District’s most vulnerable residents.

• The Landlord Tenant Court-Based Project addresses the overwhelming need for legal representation of tenants in D.C. Superior Court’s Landlord and Tenant Branch.

• The Child Support Community Legal Services Project serves some of D.C.’s most vulnerable families in the D.C. Superior Court’s Paternity and Child Support Branch.

• The Court-Based Foreclosure Prevention Project provides representation to homeowners facing foreclosure.

• The Consumer Court-Based Legal Services Project helps low-income consumers in debt collection cases.

• An office at the Domestic Violence Intake Center at the courthouse in Northwest D.C. helps survivors of domestic violence secure protection orders and other important legal help.

Our newest project is the Housing Right to Counsel Pilot Project, a city-wide initiative designed to substantially increase the number of tenants in subsidized housing who are represented by counsel when they are sued for eviction. The stakes in these cases are incredibly high because eviction from a subsidized unit often results not only in the loss of a tenant’s home, but in loss of the subsidy as well.

Legal Aid remains committed to ensuring that our services are accessible to our client community. In addition to our Northwest office, we have a critically-important partnership at the Domestic Violence Intake Center at the United Medical Center in Southeast D.C. and a stand-alone office located at the “Big Chair” building in Anacostia, which have both greatly improved access to legal services for people who live east of the Anacostia River, where one in three residents live in poverty.

Pro Bono Program

Legal Aid integrates pro bono into almost every aspect of our practice. And every donation to Legal Aid is leveraged many-fold because of the wide-ranging ways we—and, more importantly, our client community — benefit from the extraordinary pro bono contributions from our supporters. The Social Security Project for Effective and Efficient Determinations is a partnership between Legal Aid and the Association of Pro Bono Counsel’s D.C. Chapter through which we train law firm attorneys to help individuals with disabilities secure the Social Security disability benefits to which they are entitled in a timely manner. Currently, most claimants seek benefits on their own, with a high rate of initial denials for claims that are ultimately deemed to have merit, sometimes years later. The Jones Day Foundation has helped fund a Staff Attorney position to help us implement this project.

Rotating loaned associates embedded at Legal Aid from the law firms of Arnold & Porter; Crowell & Moring; Sidley Austin; Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom; and Steptoe & Johnson provide intensive pro bono service. We receive ethics guidance and a wide range of other legal counsel from Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman Special Counsel Julia Judish – our 2009 Klepper Prize for Volunteer Excellence Honoree. Volunteer lawyers from Arent Fox; Hogan Lovells; Kirkland & Ellis; Latham & Watkins; and Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman also spend hundreds of hours each year conducting initial interviews with potential clients at Legal Aid’s Northwest and Southeast offices. Still more volunteer lawyers from firms throughout the city staff our annual Medicare Part D clinics, where beneficiaries receive critical assistance to ensure there is no interruption in receipt of their prescription medications during Medicare’s “open enrollment” period.

Our current, unaudited figures indicate that volunteers throughout the Washington, D.C. legal community devoted more than 33,500 hours – worth more than $17.5 million – to support making justice real for our client community in 2015. The bulk of those hours involve direct representation of clients through Legal Aid’s robust Pro Bono Referral Program. Individual cases are screened initially by Legal Aid and then referred to pro bono counsel. Experienced Legal Aid attorneys are available as a resource for volunteers to answer questions, provide sample pleadings, and discuss relevant law and strategy.

For more information about pro bono opportunities with Legal Aid, please contact Jodi Feldman, Supervising Attorney, by phone at (202) 661-5965 or by email at jfeldman@legalaiddc.org.
