“This is not just a business, this is a profession, and we are called to ensure access to justice. It’s what has driven me to do what I do.” These are the words of Faegre Drinker’s James Volling, who has been honored by the American Bar Association with a 2024 “Pro Bono Publico Award” — the ABA’s highest pro bono recognition. Jim is recognized for his sustained service and leadership throughout his career, including his work focused largely on three areas: children, post-conviction representation, and prisoner reentry. His colleagues refer to him as a “true pro bono hero,” and note that he leads by “selfless example.” Congratulations, Jim! Check out the ABA’s recently released video, which speaks to the depth and far-reaching impact of his pro bono work ⬇

For decades, bankruptcy courts have used legal orders to halt litigation not only against those filing for bankruptcy — the debtor — but also against others connected to the case not in bankruptcy — the nondebtor codefendants. This relief was relatively common when the codefendants were the debtor’s officers or directors, or the debtor was contractually obligated to indemnify the codefendant. The Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Harrington v. Purdue Pharma called all this into question, and two other courts have since weighed in on the matter. You can learn more about the decisions and their impact in this alert by Drew Magee, Richard Bernard and Michael Pompeo.
