During this marquee event, we will proudly present the esteemed Wade H. McCree, Jr. Award for the Advancement of Social Justice, while also shining a spotlight on the extraordinary attorneys, legal teams, and law firms whose vital pro bono contributions have expanded meaningful access to justice throughout the Eastern District of Michigan.

About the Wade H. McCree, Jr. Award & Pro Bono Recognition

Named in honor of the trailblazing jurist, legal scholar, and former United States Solicitor General Wade H. McCree, Jr., this award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to advancing social justice, equality, and civil rights within the legal community and society at large.
