Paul M. Smith, Managing Partner of Jenner & Block’s Washington, DC office, received the Equality Award by the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest lesbian and gay political organization, in a July 26 awards ceremony in San Francisco. Mr. Smith led the Jenner & Block team that represented the petitioners in Lawrence v. Texas, a June 26 U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down a Texas anti-sodomy law. Nearly 1000 HRC members and supporters of lesbian and gay civil rights attended the ceremony, which also featured a keynote address by Senator John Kerry.
