CJA’s Annual Dinner, Celebrating Global Justice, brings together
elected officials, judges, leading lawyers, advocates, survivors,

secured by CJA and our partners.

The program included a conversation on Syria between

and Scott Gilmore, CJA Staff Attorney and lead lawyer for CJA’s case,
Colvin v. Syria, filed in 2016 on behalf of the family of
slain war journalist Marie Colvin.

CJA presented the 2017 Judith Lee Stronach Human Rights Award
