The Interfaith Center of New York, a secular, nonprofit group that connects religious and civic leaders, will honor Arnold & Porter senior counsel Peter Zimroth with its James Parks Morton Interfaith Award on Thursday.

Zimroth, 71, served as New York City’s corporation counsel under Mayor Edward Koch from 1987 to 1989. In August, Southern District Judge Shira Scheindlin appointed him as a special monitor overseeing city reforms of stop-and-frisk policies.
