BG Sponsors 35th Annual Legal Aid DC Servant of Justice Dinner in Washington, D.C.

The “Rule of Law” was a theme repeatedly raised yesterday evening during Legal Aid DC’s Servant of Justice Awards Dinner in Washington, D.C. Bailey Glasser was a “Steward of Justice” supporter and Cary Joshi, BG’s Commercial & Environmental Practice Group Leader, was a generous individual “Making Justice Real Giving Circle Partner.”

The evening’s first Servant of Justice Award was given to litigator Karen Dunn who led the team that obtained a groundbreaking verdict against neo-Nazi and white supremacist movement leaders responsible for racially motivated violence in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017.

The second Servant of Justice Award was given to Ben Wilson, President of the Board of the DC Bar Foundation and former Chair of Beverage & Diamond, where he was one of the first African Americans to lead a major law firm. Mr. Wilson exhorted the crowd, filled to capacity with some of Washington, D.C.’s finest lawyers and law firms, as well as committed members of the Washington, D.C. community, to stand up and fight for justice and the rule of law, quoting Maya Angelou, Frederick Douglass, and Dr. Martin Luther King’s landmark (and last) speech, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop,” and more.

A contingent of Bailey Glasser professionals was in attendance, including lawyers Cary Joshi, Hallie Arena, Allison A. Bruff, Paul-Kalvin Collins, and Aliya Khalidi, paralegals Olivia Adubofour and Brittany Murray, and Chief Marketing & Business Development Officer Marianne Merritt Talbot.
