The Juvenile Law Center's Marsha Levick, who was at the forefront of the fight to expose what eventually became known nationwide as the Luzerne County "kids-for-cash" scandal, became the first lawyer to be honored with The Legal'sArlen Specter Award on Thursday night.
The award, which was presented at The Legal's170th Anniversary Dinner, was designed to honor the late senator's legacy and recognize the attorney or judge who in the past 10 years has done the most to promote the law, the legal profession or the cause of justice in Pennsylvania.
