Fifteen Oregon attorneys have been singled out as honorees in the Daily Journal of Commerce’s first Leadership in Law awards program.

The program was created to pay tribute to long-standing members of the legal community in Oregon.

The 2011 Leadership in Law winners are:

• Thomas W. Brown, a partner with Cosgrave Vergeer Kester LLP;
• Walter Grebe, chairman emeritus and shareholder in Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt;
• Edwin A. Harnden, a managing partner with Barran Liebman;
• Charlie Harris, senior housing project manager with CASA of Oregon;
• David B. Markowitz, a shareholder in Markowitz, Herbold, Glade & Mehlhaf PC;
• Josh Marquis, Clatsop County District Attorney;
• Albert A. Menashe, managing shareholder in Gevurtz Menashe;
• Jessica Mindlin, national director for training and technical assistance with Victim Rights Law Center;
• Carl R. Neil, a partner with Lindsay, Hart, Neil + Weigler LLP;
• Martha O. Pagel, a shareholder in Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt;
• Dennis P. Rawlinson, a partner with Miller Nash LLP;
• Peter C. Richter, a partner with Miller Nash LLP;
• Concetta Schwesinger, Oregon District Attorneys Association child support liaison;
• Jody Stahancyk, senior shareholder in Stahancyk, Kent & Hook; and
• Walter Sweek, a partner with Cosgrave Vergeer Kester LLP.

The 91视频 sent out a call for nominees last year. Submissions were then handed over to a panel of seven local legal community members, who judged nominees in five areas that included mentoring and industry involvement. The process was similar to the one used to select the attorneys honored in the 91视频’s Up & Coming Lawyers awards program, held this past fall to honor outstanding lawyers who had been in practice for 10 years or fewer.

The 2011 Leadership in Law winners will be recognized during a dinner event that will run from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., March 17, at The Nines hotel in downtown Portland. Tickets are $80 per person if purchased by March 10, or $95 thereafter. Tickets are $35 for students.
