Dean Chemersinky gets Frank Award

The 9th Circuit announces: Erwin Chemerinsky Awarded Prestigious 2023 John P. Frank Award

The John P. Frank Award, established in 2003, recognizes a lawyer who has “demonstrated outstanding character and integrity; dedication to the rule of law; proficiency as a trial and appellate lawyer; success in promoting collegiality among members of the bench and bar; and a lifetime of service to the federal courts of the Ninth Circuit.”

 

“In the tradition of legendary Phoenix attorney John P. Frank, Dean Erwin Chemerinsky is both a great lawyer and a great teacher,” said U.S. Ninth Circuit Chief Judge Emerita Mary M. Schroeder. “His is a voice that stands up for the constitution, judicial independence and the Rule of Law whenever they are threatened. Dean Chemerinsky lectures widely as an exceptionally articulate scholar of United States Supreme Court decisions and is known as a friend and supporter of judges and lawyers everywhere. He is a most worthy recipient of this year’s Ninth Circuit “lawyer’s lawyer” award, created by our attorney Ninth Circuit Advisory Board and named in honor of Mr. Frank.”
