It is only with your support that the ABF is able to undertake this kind of empirical, independent research that truly advances justice and the rule of law by providing society an informed understanding of the law. You honor the Foundation by your generosity. Please enjoy and celebrate our fellowship tonight, and accept our deep gratitude for all that you do. With warmest regards,

HON. CARA LEE T. NEVILLE Chair of The Fellows

60th Annual Awards Banquet · 3 Welcome! The SEATTLE SYMPHONY congratulates This annual gathering is my favorite event of the bar year. It’s always an occasion of Llewelyn G. Pritchard, Esq. fellowship, laughter, and celebration of extraordinary achievements by extraordinary people. Tonight’s award winners take their deserving place alongside the storied group we Chair, Lifetime Directors, Seattle Symphony have honored over the past six decades. I look forward to hearing about—and from—each of this year’s cohort of honorees and to joining all of you in saluting their work. It’s wonderful to be in your company tonight. ABF Fellows are special people, exceptional people. That claim may sound boastful, coming as it does from a confirmed Fellow. But it’s true. Fellows are distinctive. Among the proudest distinctions, shared by Fellows young and old, is our fealty to an old-school value that has lost vitality in many precincts of the profession. I have in mind the noble ideal captured in the preamble of the ABA’s Model Code of Professional Conduct, which calls on every lawyer to embrace the role of “public citizen.” In that role, the Code tells us, lawyers should recognize their place in a “learned profession” whose members “cultivate knowledge of the law beyond its use for clients and employ that knowledge in reform of the law....” Others may dismiss this sentiment as quaint and archaic, but Fellows honor it as noble. We embrace it. And by selflessly supporting the ABF’s trailblazing research, Fellows indeed cultivate knowledge about law and serve as agents for legal reform. That gives real meaning to the lawyers’ role as public citizen. So, yes, Fellows are special. I think of it as Fellows exceptionalism, and I congratulate every one of you for it. It is my great honor, on behalf of the ABF Board of Directors, to welcome you, my fellow Fellows, public citizens one and all, to this our 60th Annual Awards Banquet. Enjoy the evening!

As you know, the Fellows of the American Bar Foundation represent the leading members of our legal profession, and as a group they provide vital assistance to the ABF. Indeed, much of the innovative empirical and interdisciplinary research conducted by the ABF would not be possible without the generous support of the ABF Fellows. We are also grateful to KPMG for their sponsorship of this evening’s event, and to the volunteer leadership of the Fellows for all their hard work and guidance: Hon. Cara Lee Neville (Ret.), Mike Byowitz, Rew Goodenow, and Kathleen Hopkins. Thanks to all. Tonight, we have the privilege of celebrating the many achievements of this year’s award winners. Llewelyn G.

Together, Judge Tunheim and Barbara Gislason have inspired and invigorated the Minnesota ABF Fellows to be among the most active in the country. This year we are also honoring Selma Moidel Smith with our inaugural Life Fellow Achievement Award. A lawyer and music composer, she has been throughout her career and life a leader in advancing the careers of women lawyers. Among her many accomplishments, she has held prominent positions in the International Federation of Women Lawyers, the National Association of Women Lawyers, and she has served twice as president of the Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles.

LLEWELYN G. PRITCHARD

A native New Yorker, Llew Pritchard is a Life Fellow of the American Bar Foundation and partner at the Seattle law firm of Helsell Fetterman LLP. Llewelyn G. Pritchard Pritchard arrived in Seattle more than 50 years ago with a freshly minted law degree from Duke. He and his wife Jonie, who would eventually raise four children in the Pacific Northwest, began five decades of service on both a national and local level that continues to this day. Pritchard’s early work on legal issues relating to diversity, immigrant rights and sexual minorities, were ahead of society’s, but entirely consistent with Pritchard’s character and strong belief in civil rights. Pritchard worked with his longtime friend Bill Gates Sr. and the late Judge Betty Fletcher to establish the minority scholarship program that the King County Bar Foundation carries on today and which has provided more than $2 million to minority law students at our local law schools. Pritchard was also a founding member of the Advisory Board for QLaw, advancing the rights of LGBT individuals, and is a winner of the National LGBT Bar Associations Allies for Justice Award. Pritchard’s work on behalf of marginalized populations also includes previous service as Chair of the ABA Standing Committee Legal Aid and Indigent Defendants, where he helped secure expanded funding for the Legal Services Corporation. Pritchard also chaired the ABA’s Survey of Legal Needs to assess the legal needs of low-income and modest-means populations. While Llew is a wonderful “talker,” he is remarkable “doer.” When he is lending support to a new enterprise, such as the early days of the World Justice Project, or advocating for human rights, such as a his active role on the ROLI Board and Center for Human Rights, Llew is passionate, dogged and dependable. Beyond his admirable work in the legal profession, Llew is an icon in the community at large. He has a lifelong commitment to the arts and was instrumental in founding one of Seattle’s key arts funding Boards, as the President and Chair of the board of the Seattle Symphony, chair of Allied Arts and the Museum of Glass. He is also an active United Methodist and has served as the Chancellor or Legal Advisor to the United Methodist Bishop in Seattle for Forty Five years. Recipient of the Llew represents the best of what lawyers should be—holding down an active practice while being a player in professional and community affairs. His staunch leadership for access to justice for all; Fellows of the American Bar Foundation his steadfast efforts to effect meaningful immigration reform; his courageous stands for human 2016 Outstanding Service Award and civil rights; his indefatigable determination to strengthen the rule of law globally; and his enduring and inspiring service as a member of the ABA House of Delegates for more than three decades have earned him countless well-deserved awards and honors.

Her articles have appeared in the Harvard Law Review, National Black Law Journal, Stanford Law Review, and Southern California Law Review.

Crenshaw has lectured widely on race matters, addressing audiences across the country as well as in Europe, India, Africa and South America. Crenshaw has worked extensively on a variety of issues pertaining to gender and race in the domestic arena including violence against women, structural racial inequality, and affirmative action. A specialist on race and gender equality, she has facilitated workshops for human rights activists in Brazil and in India, and for constitutional court judges in South Africa. Her groundbreaking work on “Intersectionality” has traveled globally and was influential in the drafting of the equality clause in the South African Constitution. In 1996, Crenshaw co-founded the African American Policy Forum, a gender and racial justice legal think tank, which houses a variety of projects designed to deliver research-based strategies to better advance social inclusion. In 2011, Crenshaw founded the Center for Intersectionality & Social Policy Studies at Columbia Law School, which aims to foster critical examination of how social structures and related identity categories such as gender, race, and class interact on multiple levels, resulting in social inequality. She is a leading voice in calling for a gender-inclusive approach to racial justice interventions, having spearheaded the Why We Can’t Wait Campaign and co-authored Black Girls Matter: Pushed Out, Overpoliced and Underprotected and Say Her Name: Resisting Police Brutality Against Black Women.
