Announcements

BSF chairman David Boies and Gibson Dunn's ­Theodore B. Olson received the American Bar Association's highest honor, the ABA Medal, at the association's annual meeting in Toronto, held August 4 – 9, 2011. The award, presented by outgoing ABA president and BSF partner Steve Zack, was presented to the pair for their ongoing battle against California's same-sex marriage ban, Proposition 8.

Upon receiving the award, Mr. Boies stated:

There is no greater honor that a lawyer can have but to accept this award from [the ABA] because not only is this the highest award that you give, but you are the best representatives of the profession that we all love.
