Hogan & Hartson LLP lawyer E. Barrett Prettyman Jr. was honored by the Legal Aid Society of Washington, D.C. with its Servant of Justice Award. The Servant of Justice award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated a daily commitment to ensuring the provision of legal services and equal justice to all District of Columbia residents. The award was presented to Prettyman by Senator John Warner at Legal Aid Society's 18th Annual Award Dinner on April 17 in Washington, D.C. The event also celebrated the organization’s 75th anniversary.
Prettyman was recognized for his life-long dedication to increasing availability and access to pro bono services. As the first president of the D.C. Bar, Prettyman was an early advocate for pro bono legal assistance, establishing such services as a priority to which every successive D.C. Bar president has since adhered. He has personally devoted extensive time and effort to pro bono legal representations. Prettyman has represented clients in appellate litigation matters throughout his career, including arguing 19 cases before the Supreme Court.
S. White Rhyne, former president of the Legal Aid Society, also was honored at this event.
