SRZ Lawyers Named Finalists for National Public Justice Award

June 27, 2007

A precedent-setting ruling that saved about 42,000 Hurricane Katrina and Rita families from homelessness won the notice of one of the one of the country’s most influential legal organizations and put three New York attorneys and their
co-counsel in the running for the Public Justice 2007 Trial Lawyer of the Year Award.

Howard O. Godnick, Jeffrey S. Sabin and Daniel L. Greenberg of Schulte, Roth & Zabel; disaster relief expert Stephen E. Ronfeldt of The Public Interest Law Project in Oakland, Calif.; and John C. Brittain of the Lawyers Committee
for Civil Rights Under the Law in Washington, D.C., were named by the Public Justice Foundation as finalists for the award bestowed annually to the lawyers who made the greatest contribution to the public interest by trying or settling a
precedent-setting case.
