![""]("http://www.publicjustice.net/sites/default/files/TLOY2014-600.jpg")
Members of the winning team accept the 2014 Trial Lawyer of the Year Award at the Annual Gala.
Public Justice hosted the organization’s 32nd Annual Gala on July 27th at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, Md. The Gala is a celebration and an opportunity to reflect on important work in the public interest in the past year.
During the Gala we launched the Access to Justice Campaign’s 10th Anniversary campaign: A2J – Stronger & Smarter.
The Trial Lawyer of the Year Award was presented to the team of People of California v. Atlantic Richfield. To see a video on this case and all of the other nominees, please see: http://www.publicjustice.net/news-events/awards/trial-lawyer-year-award.
New this year, Public Justice presented the Illuminating Injustice Award, to Karen Bartlett for injuries she sustained from the side effects of a prescribed generic drug. The award is given to an individual who has suffered a significant injury but received no recovery or only a partial recovery in calendar year 2013. This $25,000 award was made possible by Synergy Settlement Services. For more information in this award, please see: http://www.publicjustice.net/news-events/awards/Illuminating-Injustice-Award.
