Pro Bono Night 2010

An Evening with the Stars

On Thursday, May 20 over 150 lawyers, judges and their guests gathered at the Lindsay Street Hall to honor the “stars” of the legal community who contribute their time and talent to low-income clients who would otherwise be unable to afford representation. The event was hosted by the Pro Bono Committee of the Chattanooga and Young Lawyers Division of the Chattanooga Bar Association. Judge Neil Thomas presided over an awards ceremony to honor outstanding volunteers. Award winners included:
Bruce C. Bailey Volunteer
of the Year Award:
Richard R. Ruth, Jr.
Equal Access to Justice Award:
Chief Justice
William M. Barker
Pro Bono Excellence Award:
D. Seth Holliday
Pro Bono Advocacy Award:
Janice K. Pulver
Firm of the Year:
Husch Blackwell Sanders
Guests bid on silent and live auction items, including a “low country boil” for six prepared by Judge Jeffery Hollingsworth. Proceeds from this popular event support Legal Aid of East Tennessee’s Pro Bono Project. Created in 1990, the Pro Bono Project connects low-income and vulnerable clients with private attorneys who agree to represent them free of charge.
