Awards are presented to the lawyers who excel in their professional settings; who personify excellence on the national and international level; and who have demonstrated a commitment to racial and ethnic diversity in the legal professional.”
Justice Liu and the other honorees will receive their awards at a February 4 ceremony during the ABA Midyear Meeting in New Orleans.
