The

Awardsof

John Payton was the President and Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF), and a tireless advocate for justice, equality, and opportunity. Mr. Payton was the 6th leader of LDF, the nation’s first and preeminent civil rights law firm.During his tenure, he guided the organization to resounding legal victories, including Lewis v. City of Chicago, which vindicated the rights of over 6,000 applicants who sought to become firefighters in the City of Chicago, and Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District v. Holder, which turned back a challenge to the constitutionality of a core provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

A native of Los Angeles and a graduate of Pomona College and Harvard Law School, Mr. Payton forged a career as a corporate attorney at the firm of Wilmer Hale, where he headed the firm’s Litigation Department. But he also always exercised a deep commitment to public service through his pro bono work at the firm. He took leave from Wilmer during the early 1990s to serve as the Corporation Counsel of the District of Columbia. He was president of the District of Columbia Bar from 2001 to 2002, a member of the American Law Institute, a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation, and a Master in the Edward Coke Appellate Inn of Court. He also was affiliated with a number of civil rights and human rights organizations.

Mr. Payton was lead counsel for the University of Michigan, handling two high-profile casesin the trial court and in the court of appeals and arguing Gratz v. Bollinger in the Supreme Court. The landmark companion case, Grutter v. Bollinger, in which the Supreme Court upheld race-conscious admissions in higher education, represented the vindication of a strategy, devised and implemented over more than six years, to support the educational benefits of diversity. In 2010, the National Law Journal named Mr. Payton to its list of “The Decade’s Most Influential Lawyers.” The Washington (D.C.) Bar Association awarded him the Charles Hamilton Houston Medallion of Merit.

Mr. Payton’s early death was a profound loss for the equal access to justice movement. As President Obama noted at the time of his death, Mr. Payton was a “true champion of equality.”

Mr. Payton died on March 22, 2012 after a brief illness. He was 65.

Among her many international roles, from 1997 to 2001 she served as an Independent Experton the UN treaty body that oversees compliance with the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, during which time she negotiated the adoption of General Recommendation XXV on the Gender Dimensions of Racial Discrimination, which requires governments to report explicitly on the situation of women impacted by racial discrimination. She played a leadership role in the UN Third World Conference against Racism.

As Special Rapporteur on the issue of systematic rape and sexual slavery practices in armed conflict when she served on the UN Sub-Commission on Promotion and Protection of Human Rights (1995-1999), she led that body in calling for international legal standards for the prosecution of such acts.

She was one of five international members of the South African governmental body establishedthrough the multi-party negotiations to set policy and administer the country’s first democratic, non-racial elections in 1994, resulting in the election of President Nelson Mandela and the transition from apartheid. For 14 years prior to that appointment, she served as Director of the Southern Africa Project of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, where she workedwith South African lawyers to secure the release of thousands of political prisoners from jail.

Among her recent academic roles have been the Robert Drinan Visiting Professor in Human Rights at the Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. (2011-2012); Distinguished Scholar in Residence at the American University Washington College of Law (2006-2008); and Professor in the annual Academy on Human Rights and Humanitarian Law at the American University.

In 1999 she was a recipient of the coveted MacArthur “Genius” Award. She also has received the Butcher Medal of the American Society of International Law for outstanding contributions to human rights law and the Thurgood Marshall Award of the District of Columbia Bar Association among numerous other national and international awards.

Gay McDougall

Elaine Jones is President and Director-Counsel, Emeritus of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF), the nation’s oldest law firm fighting for equal rights and justice for people of color, women, and the poor. When Ms. Jones took the helm of the Legal Defense Fund in 1993, she became the first woman to head the organization. She brought vast experience as a litigator and civil rights activist, as well as a passion for fairness and equality that dates back to her childhood.

After graduating with honors in political science from Howard University, Ms. Jones joined the Peace Corps and became one of the first African Americans to serve in Turkey. Following hertwo-year Peace Corps stint, she became the first black woman to graduate from the University of Virginia School of Law, and subsequently the first African American to serve on the Board of Governors of the American Bar Association.

Ms. Jones turned down an offer from one of Wall Street’s most prestigious firms to pursue the goal she had chosen in her youth and instead joined the Legal Defense Fund. With the exception of two years as Special Assistant to the United States Secretary of Transportation, she has remained with LDF ever since.

In her early years at LDF, Ms. Jones continued to blaze trails, becoming one of the first African American women to defend death row inmates. Only two years out of law school, she was a counsel of record in Furman v. Georgia, a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case that abolished the death penaltyin 37 states for 12 years. During this period, she also argued numerous employment discrimination cases, including class actions against some of the nation’s largest employers.

Ms. Jones holds fifteen honorary degrees and the Jefferson Medal of Freedom, the highest honor awarded by the University of Virginia.

Among the many honors and recognitions she has received, Ms. Jones was the recipient of the JTBF (Just The Beginning Foundation) Trailblazer Legend Award in September 2012; the Thurgood Marshall Lifetime Achievement Award, American Bar Association, Section on Individual Rights and Responsibilities, in August 2011; was inducted into The National Trial Lawyers Association Hall of Fame in April 2011; received the Public Service Award from the National Association of Women Lawyers in July 2010; was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund in April 2010; was inducted into the Washington Bar Association Hall of Fame in 2010; and in December 2000, President William Jefferson Clinton presented her with the Eleanor Roosevelt Human Rights Award.

After a 32-year tenure with LDF, Ms. Jones stepped down on May 1, 2004. Since that time, she has been lecturing, writing, teaching and publicly speaking on legal and related policy issues.

Mr. Verrilli maintained an active pro bono practice throughout his career in private practice, and received several awards for his contributions to the equal justice community, including the Arthur von Briesen Award from the National Legal Aid and Defender Association in 2004 and the Equal Justice Award from the Southern Center for Human Rights in 2006.

The Klepper Prize for Volunteer Excellence

Nicole L. Grimm is a counsel in Skadden’s Litigation Section, where she represents companies and individuals in connection with government investigations and related matters. Ms. Grimm received her law degree from the American University Washington College of Law in 1999. Prior to joining Skadden, Ms. Grimm – who is fluent in Spanish – worked at a law firm in Santiago, Chile, where she focused on foreign investment and international transactional matters.

Luke A. Meisner is an associate in Skadden’s International Trade Section, where he represents U.S. manufacturers in a variety of trade remedy proceedings and policy matters. He received his law degree from the University of North Carolina in 2003 and clerked for the Honorable Eduardo C. Robreno of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

Warren T. Allen, II is an associate in Skadden’s Litigation Section where he represents companies and individuals in civil matters and government investigations. He received his law degree from the Georgetown University Law Center in 2006 and clerked for the Honorable Gladys Kessler of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Prior to attending law school, Warren served six years as a police officer, including assignment to the detective bureau.

The Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia is delighted to honor Warren T. Allen II, Nicole L. Grimm, and Luke A. Meisner from Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP for their extraordinary contributions in implementing the “Impact Project,” designed to provide desperately needed pro bono legal assistance on a broad scale to help low-income children and families in Washington, D.C. The Impact Project focuses Skadden’s resources on three areas of specific need: domestic violence, guardians ad litem for children, and housing. Mr. Allen, Ms. Grimm, and Mr. Meisner have taken the lead – under the expert guidance of Skadden partners Michele Roberts and Saul Pilchen – in implementing the domestic violence portion of the project in conjunction with Legal Aid.

Mr. Allen, Ms. Grimm, and Mr. Meisner have brought great energy and dedication to the project. They organized a comprehensive training for the firm’s attorneys and also recruited in-house lawyers from corporate clients such as Northrop Grumman to staff the project. In a short period of time, the three have built collaborative relationships with other domestic violence advocates to establish a regular presence for Skadden attorneys at the DomesticViolence Intake Center (DVIC) at the D.C. Superior Court. There, they meet with potential clients, often on the heels of an abusive incident, to help them secure Civil Protection Orders(CPOs) against their abusers. The Skadden team has committed to handling these cases soup to nuts, conducting the initial interview with the clients, drafting petitions for CPOs, and representing clients in both the Temporary Protection Order (TPO) hearings and the CPO hearings that follow in two weeks. Legal Aid domestic violence attorneys provide ongoing mentoring and support for the project.

Mr. Allen, Ms. Grimm, and Mr. Meisner handled the first several cases, orienting themselvesto the DVIC and learning the procedure, strategy, and dynamics involved in assisting victims of domestic violence navigating the TPO/CPO process. They also have accompanied other Skadden attorneys who have taken on a CPO matter in connection with this project and have quickly developed the knowledge and skills required to provide quality supervision and mentorship. The Skadden team already has spent hundreds of hours helping survivors of domestic violence through this project. The commitment to this project on the part of the firm and the individual attorneys involved is exceptional, making them truly deserving of this year’s Klepper Award for Volunteer Excellence.

CuRRENT PROJECTS

The Barbara McDowell Appellate Advocacy Project, named after the first Director of this program, renowned Supreme Court litigator Barbara McDowell, litigates important cases affecting persons living in poverty before the District of Columbia Court of Appeals every year. This nationally-recognized project was recently described by the National Legal Aid & Defender Association as a “model of excellence.”

Legal Aid has several court-based projects which locate lawyers at the courthouse in order to provide same-day legal services, including temporary representation, to some of the District’s most vulnerable residents.

These projects include:

• theLandlordTenantCourt-BasedProject,whichaddressestheoverwhelmingneedfor legal representation of tenants in D.C. Superior Court’s Landlord and Tenant Branch;

• theChildSupportCommunityLegalServicesProject,whichservessomeofD.C.’smost vulnerable families in the D.C. Superior Court’s Paternity and Child Support Branch;

• theConsumerCourt-BasedLegalServicesProject,createdin2012withsupportfromthe Skadden Foundation to help low-income consumers in debt collection cases; and

• anofficeattheDomesticViolenceIntakeCenteratthecourthouseinNorthwest,D.C., established in 2012 with funding from the D.C. Bar Foundation’s Access to Justice Grant Program to expand our domestic violence work.

Legal Aid remains committed to ensuring that our services are accessible to our client community. In addition to our Northwest office, we have a critically-important partnership at the Domestic Violence Intake Center at the United Medical Center Hospital in Southeast, D.C., and a stand-alone office located at the “Big Chair” building in Anacostia.

NEW PROJECTS

Legal Aid maintains strong ties to our client communities and continually strives to respond to their changing needs. This year, Legal Aid is proud to announce several exciting new projects:

• Thisyear,wewillbereceivingnewfundingfromtheU.S.DepartmentofJustice’sOfficeon Violence Against Women, which will allow us to expand the provision of holistic legal services to domestic violence survivors. While Legal Aid already provides legal services in each of our four practice areas to domestic violence clients, we will now, for the first time, also be able to provide much-needed immigration services to domestic violence survivors.

• Inthecomingmonths,aSkaddenFellowwillbestartinganewprojectwhichbuildsupon Legal Aid’s current work with the D.C. Superior Court Housing Conditions Calendar, to assist low-income tenants in the District to obtain meaningful relief and repairs for poor housing conditions that threaten their health and safety and deprive them of housing stability.

The District of Columbia continues to face an access to justice crisis for persons living in poverty. Poor persons are far more likely than persons of means to encounter the legal system in cases where the stakes are high. Currently, almost one in every five D.C. residents lives below the poverty line. East of the Anacostia River, one in three residents lives in poverty. Moreover, the percentage of residents of all ages living in deep poverty, or below half of the poverty line, has risen by more than 20 percent since the recession hit. Compounding this issue is the dearth of free or affordable legal services for civil matters. In case after case about the most fundamental of things – the ability to remain in one’s home, the right to medical care, the capacity to keep a family together, the ability to obtain protection from an abuser – low-income D.C. residents find themselves facing the challenges and intricacies of the court system on their own.

At Legal Aid, our lawyers work each and every day to combat this injustice and ensure that as many people as possible have access to a lawyer. Every year, Legal Aid lawyers assist clients in hundreds of matters in the areas of family/domestic violence, housing, public benefits, and consumer law. Legal Aid attorneys also help hundreds of others with legal rights education or referrals and seek systemic and appellate change to better protect the rights of persons living in poverty. In 2012, Legal Aid attorneys were able to provide legal representation and assistance in more than 2,800 matters, directly benefitting more than 7,000 individuals. Although so much of our work is unquantifiable – you cannot put a price tag on obtaining custody of your child – we were able to provide full representation to more clients than ever in Legal Aid’s history – in 875 matters; our quantifiable individual cases alone resulted in more than $4.2 million in financial benefits to our clients.

In a city with one of the greatest income differences between rich and poor in the nation, Legal Aid is working to make justice real for D.C.’s most vulnerable residents.

PRACTICE AREAS

Housing law: We represent tenants who need help to avoid eviction or have serious housing code violations corrected. Our housing lawyers also assist public housing tenants to preserve subsidies, fight illegal rent increases, and work to prevent displacement by development.

Family/Domestic violence law: We work with victims of domestic violence to ensure their safety and work to achieve family stability through child support and custody cases.

Public benefits law: We ensure that the necessary “safety net” benefits and services (including health care, Food Stamps, Supplemental Security Income, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, and Unemployment Insurance) are available to all who qualify.

Consumer law: We provide much-needed representation to help poor and low-income homeowners avoid foreclosure and fight foreclosure fraud and assist clients with a variety of small claims and other consumer cases.

SPECIAL COLLABORATION WITH KIRKLAND & ELLIS LLP

Just in time for this year’s Servant of Justice Dinner, Legal Aid is delighted to announce it will receive an extraordinary, multi-year donation from the law firm of Kirkland & Ellis LLP which will enable it to establish a new intake center located in Southwest D.C. at Friendship Baptist Church. This exciting partnership further expands Legal Aid’s presence in underserved communities, reaching low-income residents in Southwest D.C. who may not otherwise have access to legal services.

In addition to providing financial support to Legal Aid, Kirkland attorneys will be conducting initial applicant interviews at the new intake location and providing pro bono representation to clients referred to the firm through Legal Aid’s Pro Bono Program. The Reverend J. Michael Little, Pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, was instrumental in the creation of the project and will serve as the Director of Community Relations for the new intake center.

PRO BONO PROGRAM

Legal Aid’s Pro Bono Referral Program refers cases to attorneys working in private law firms and government agencies. We have been able to cultivate an incredible base of support for ourstrong and well-respected Pro Bono Program. Our current figures indicate that Legal Aid volunteers devoted more than 34,000 hours – worth more than $16 million – to support makingjustice real for our client community in 2012. Pro bono attorneys expand Legal Aid’s capacity to help individuals and families who we otherwise would have to turn away because of limited in-house resources.

Legal Aid refers cases in the areas of housing, child custody and child support, public benefits, and consumer law, as well as a limited number of appellate matters. The matters initially vare screened by Legal Aid staff prior to referral. For each matter referred, an experienced Legal Aid attorney is assigned as a mentor to answer any questions the pro bono attorney may have, provide sample pleadings, discuss relevant case law and strategy, and offer ongoing mentoring as the case moves forward.

For more information about pro bono opportunities with Legal Aid, please contact Jodi Feldman, Director of Pro Bono and Intake Programs, by phone at (202) 661-5965 or by email at jfeldman@legalaiddc.org.

In honor of this significant milestone, Legal Aid launched the 80 for 80 Campaign to complement the Making Justice Real Giving Circle annual gift recognition program. Whereas the Giving Circle recognizes those individuals who give each year at levels of $1,000 and above, the goal of the 80 for 80 Campaign was to seek the support of at least 80 individuals/couples to give an anniversary gift of $2,500 or more during calendar year 2012. In 2012, we surpassed this goal – ending the year with a remarkable 99 participants.

Support Legal AidLegal Aid raises the majority of its budget through private sources including law firms, attorneys, corporations, legal support professionals, and foundations. We depend heavily on the D.C. legal community’s generosity. There are many ways to support Legal Aid’s effort to make justice real for persons living in poverty in D.C.:

• Give through the Generous Associates Campaign this summer.• Contribute to the Annual Appeal at the end of the year.• Sponsor the 25th Annual Servant of Justice Awards Dinner on April 29, 2014.• Designate 8140 in the United Way Campaign or 81566 in the Combined Federal

Campaign.• Secure a match for your donation. Many employers will match the charitable

contributions of their employees. Contact your Human Resources Department to learn more.

• Give the gift of stock or securities. It is usually beneficial to give appreciated securities since you bypass any capital gains tax due had you sold them – and you receive a charitable deduction for their fair market value.

• Consider adding a bequest to your will that contributes to the sustainable future of Legal Aid. In the alternative, consider designating Legal Aid as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or charitable trust.

For more information about these options, please visit our website at www.LegalAidDC.org or contact Gregg A. Kelley, Director of Development, by phone at (202) 661-5964 or by email at gkelley@legalaiddc.org.

Thank YouTonight’s Servant of Justice Awards Dinner has been made possible by the generosity of Washington, D.C.’s legal and business communities. Legal Aid is extremely grateful for their support. In addition, Legal Aid would like to thank those who contributed significant time, energy, and services in-kind to make this evening such a success:
