Four Decades for Justice
On September 16, 2017, Cravath partner David R. Marriott became a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, one of the premier legal associations in North America. The induction ceremony took place during the 2017 Annual Meeting of the College in Montreal, Quebec.
Founded in 1950, the College is composed of “the best of the trial bar from the United States and Canada.” Fellowship is extended by invitation only to experienced trial lawyers who have “mastered the art of advocacy and adhered to the highest standards of ethical conduct, professionalism, civility, and collegiality.” Lawyers must have a minimum of 15 years of trial experience before they can be considered for membership, and membership in the College cannot exceed one percent of the total lawyer population of any state or province. The College maintains and seeks to improve the standards of trial practice, professionalism, ethics and the administration of justice through education and public statements on independence of the judiciary, trial by jury, respect for the rule of law, access to justice, and fair and just representation of all parties to legal proceedings.
Mr. Marriott received his J.D. from New York University in 1994. Following graduation, he served as law clerk to Hon. Eugene F. Lynch of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The following year, he served as law clerk to Hon. Albert J. Engel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Mr. Marriott received his B.A. from Brigham Young University in 1991. He joined Cravath in 1996 and became a partner in 2003.
