Inner City Law Center Honors Crowell & Moring with 2024 Humanitarian Award

Firm News | 1 min read | 05.09.24

Los Angeles – May 9, 2024: Inner City Law Center recognized Crowell & Moring with the 2024 Humanitarian Award in recognition of the firm’s exemplary pro bono efforts to address the homeless crisis in Los Angeles. The Humanitarian Award is awarded annually to an individual or entity who has demonstrated a remarkable commitment to the underprivileged men, women, and children of Los Angeles. The award was presented at Inner City Law Center’s 24 Annual Awards Luncheon on May 8 in Los Angeles.

“The many hours of pro bono legal work that lawyers from Crowell & Moring have donated fighting for Inner City Law Center clients show an incredible commitment to the fight to prevent and address homeless in Los Angeles,” said Inner City Law Center Board President Kenneth Trujillo-Jamison. “Between 2021 and 2023 alone, Crowell & Moring donated more than 650 hours of legal services (valued at more than half a million dollars) to help Inner City Law Center clients fight unlawful evictions, stand up to slumlords, and claim public benefits.”

One example of the work Crowell has done in partnership with Inner City Law Center came in 2022, when a team of lawyers including Henry Leung, Uri Niv, and Nathanial Wood defeated a wrongful eviction, allowing an Inner City Law Center client and her children to remain housed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Founded in 1980, Inner City Law Center is a nonprofit, poverty-law firm working to end the homelessness crisis by providing free legal services to the most vulnerable residents of Los Angeles. It is the only legal aid organization with headquarters in Skid Row.

Demand for radioisotopes is expected to increase significantly over the next decade, while global supply struggles to keep pace due to aging reactor infrastructure and a fragmented global supply chain, which at present is dominated by countries outside the United States. Atomic Alchemy intends to be a low-cost U.S. radioisotope producer that can provide a secure and domestic supply of radioisotopes to U.S. companies commercializing innovative radioisotope applications. With its proprietary VIPR® technology, Atomic Alchemy is building the first scalable production facility to provide a reliable, sustainable source of high-value radioisotopes. Using a vertically integrated model and fuel recycling, in partnership with Oklo, Atomic Alchemy is transforming isotope production to address global shortages, support critical applications, and strengthen national security. The core deal team included Samuel Holland Edwards, Jon O’Connell, Justin Lurie, and Ryan Flynn....
