Sidley Austin’s Ronald Flagg, a partner and chair of the firm’s committee on pro bono and public interest law, was awarded the 2010 Vincent E. Reed Award from the Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs.
The award was presented to Flagg at the Wiley A. Branton Awards Luncheon for his commitment to public education issues in Washington D.C..
In a press release from Sidley Austin, Flagg called education “the single most important civil rights issue facing our country.”
Flagg joined the Washington Lawyers’ Committee in 2003 after being active with the organization for many years. He currently is president-elect of the D.C. Bar and will take over full presidential duties on Thursday.
Flagg’s practice focuses on complex commercial administration litigation for regulated industries and professional firms.
Said Carter G. Phillips, managing partner of Sidley’s Washington D.C. office: “Ron’s numerous contributions and commitment to community service, whether it is on behalf of public education and the children of Washington, D.C., the elderly in our community or war veterans, are truly inspiring and a model for every lawyer in our firm.”
