Alumnus Awarded ABA's Highest Honor

The American Bar Association awarded General Earl E. Anderson, Ret. USMC, JD '52, with its highest honor, the ABA Medal. The award is given only when the ABA Board of Governors decides a nominee has provided exceptional service to the law and the legal profession, with past recipients including Justice Thurgood Marshall, Watergate Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski, and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. "The contributions of General Earl Anderson over the past 60-plus years will resonate within the ABA for decades," said ABA President James Silkenat.
