Dan Bradley Award 2011: Nancy Polikoff

The (US) National LGBT Bar Association has announced that Nancy Polikoff is the recipient of the 2011 Dan Bradley Award, the organization’s highest honor.

Nancy Polikoff is a professor of law at American University Washington College of Law and richly deserves the award. For 35 years, she has been writing, teaching, and working on litigation and legislation about LGBT families. Each year, the LGBT Bar recognizes the efforts of a member of the LGBT legal community whose work, like Attorney Dan Bradley's, has led the way in our struggle for equality under the law. Dan Bradley was the founder of the American Bar Association Section of Individual Rights and Responsibility's Committee on the Rights of Gay People (now known as the ABA’s Commission on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity).
