The Georgia Asian Pacific American Bar Association celebrated its 25th anniversary last week at its annual gala, while also honoring the loss of two prominent members, Han Choi and Trinh Huynh.

Choi, a former GAPABA president and the managing partner of Ballard Spahr’s Atlanta office, died of pancreatic cancer on March 26 at age 52. One year earlier, Huynh, 40, was shot to death in Midtown as she was crossing Peachtree Street on the way to her job in the legal department at UPS.
