On October 2, 2018, Gibson Dunn was honored by long-time pro bono partner Capital Area Immigrants’ Rights (CAIR) Coalition with the 2018 Impacting Justice Award. The firm was honored for its “stellar and innovative” pro bono work on behalf of CAIR Coalition and on behalf of detained immigrants in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC. The recognition was given, at least in part, for the firm’s work on behalf of CAIR Coalition and other legal service providers earlier this year when they were threatened with the termination of funding. The Executive Director of CAIR Coalition noted, “Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher has always been a stellar and innovative partner. When our clients and our work for our clients was put at stake this year, your attorneys and staff jumped to join us in their defense. With your dedication and creativity, we were able to fight back the attack and continue to represent the immigrant communities of the Capital Region.”
