Cravath Honored by The Legal Aid Society

On November 9, 2011, Cravath was honored at The Legal Aid Society’s Pro Bono Awards Ceremony in New York City. Each year, the organization honors leading pro bono lawyers, legal support staff, law firms and corporations for their outstanding pro bono services provided to The Legal Aid Society and the Society’s clients. The Firm was recognized for its victory in a murder case on grounds of newly discovered evidence, and successfully defending the ruling on appeal. As a result, the Society’s client was released from prison after serving 14 years. Cravath Presiding Partner Evan R. Chesler, partners Darin P. McAtee and Antony L. Ryan and associate Robert A. Miranne were recognized for their contributions.
