Attorney Edie Rogoway was named the recipient of the 2017 Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyers Association’s (OCDLA) President’s award, an honor to distinguish individuals who have shown exemplary service to the Association.
The award recognizes Rogoway for her pro bono work organizing volunteer attorneys and interpreters to assist people affected by President Trump’s Muslim travel-ban Executive Order. Ms. Rogoway exemplifies the spirit of the award by “… standing up for the defenseless and holding those in positions of power accountable for the harm they cause …for being a rock of strength and a beacon of hope for people subject to abuses of power.”
