Welcome to another edition of Litigator of the Week.

I admit, we were tempted to honor one of the terrific pro bono wins this week. Lawyers from Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld led by Joseph Sorkin and Akerman’s Ilana Tabacinic won $10 million in the first-ever trial where a former head of state faced his accusers in a U.S. court for civil human rights violations.
