Honorees

This year the CA will present to the Honorable Morris E. Lasker its 1844 Medal, named for the year in which the Association was founded. Appointed a federal district judge by President Lyndon Johnson in 1968 after a distinguished career as an attorney in private practice, Judge Lasker has for 40 years steadily and resolutely demonstrated the power of the law to advance justice and fairness in our society. Judge Lasker’s rulings have consistently contributed to securing the rights of all citizens. In particular, his name will be forever associated, in the words of a New York Times editorial, with “courage, compassion and patience in directing litigation over conditions in New York City jails.”

We will also recognize the Honorable Felice K. Shea with our Award for Achievement in Public Service.  A former attorney at the Harlem Branch of the Legal Aid Society and retired Justice of the New York State Supreme Court, Justice Shea also served on the Civil Court of the City of New York and on the Family Court.  Justice Shea has dedicated countless hours of service to the public through government commissions and volunteer work on behalf of a wide range of organizations, including the Correctional Association, and has become an emblem of energetic devotion to making New York a better, fairer and more caring place.
