WILLIAM E. MORRIS PRO BONO SERVICE AWARD PRESENTED
 Pro-Bono attorney to be recognized posthumously for dedication to his community
 
[Phoenix, AZ] – One outstanding attorney has been named the 2010 William E. Morris Pro Bono Service Award Recipient! David Sanderson will be recognized posthumously for his remarkable commitment to furthering justice in Arizona. The William E. Morris Pro Bono Service Award recognizes extraordinary contributions by an Arizona attorney in making legal services available to persons who otherwise could not afford them, and thereby brings public awareness to the substantial voluntary services by Arizona attorneys in this area. Given annually in honor of William E. Morris, a long-time attorney for the poor in Arizona, the Award will be presented at the 2010 Arizona Foundation for Legal Services & Education Awards luncheon on June 10th, 2010 at the Renaissance Glendale Hotel & Spa.
 
About David “Dave” Sanderson:
 
Dave had a lifelong commitment to help those in need and an unwavering commitment to use the talents he possessed to help others who were less fortunate. After a long battle with cancer, Dave passed away in October of 2009. Dave was known for having a huge heart and kind demeanor which provided many pro bono clients with excellent and compassionate representation. In his 13 years volunteering with the Maricopa Volunteer Lawyer Program, Dave not only helped numerous families but enlisted his law partners to help as well. Three cases for which he volunteered required more than 3 years of Dave’s time.
 
“He will be remembered by all who knew him, as a person who lived the ideals of William Morris in his personal and professional life.”
