A few years ago, I had the honor of spending an evening with Daniel Levy, one of the most gifted immigration lawyers in America. We were seated next to each other at a benefit dinner for the American Immigration Law Foundation and it was the only time I ever got to spend with Daniel. We had a wonderful evening and I learned we were connected because he was the uncle of a childhood friend of mine. Daniel passed away from cancer the next year and the immigration bar lost a great advocate.
I think it is most fitting the Lexis sponsors the Daniel Levy Award honoring the person who has made the most outstanding contribution to immigration law. The award is open to both attorneys and non-attorneys. The award goes to a person meeting these criteria:
- enthusiastic advocacy on behalf of immigrant clients;
- deep scholarship in immigration law; and
- an expansive vision of justice
Nominations are due May 1, 2007.
