Cravath Honored with the National Legal Aid & Defender Association’s 2020 Beacon of Justice Award

On July 21, 2020, the National Legal Aid & Defender Association (“NLADA”), the nation’s oldest and largest nonprofit association devoted to excellence in the delivery of legal services to those who cannot afford counsel, announced that Cravath will be honored with a 2020 “Beacon of Justice Award,” for pro bono work serving vulnerable people seeking asylum in the United States. Those individuals represented by Cravath included men and women from Africa, Europe and Latin America, each of whom faced serious prospects of persecution in the countries they left. Cravath also provided pro bono legal services to sick children and their families facing various immigration issues, and to immigrant victims of domestic violence.
