Patricia Lee Refo of Snell & Wilmer was awarded the World Jurist Association’s Medal of Honor for her work promoting the rule of law around the world. The World Jurist Association was founded in 1963 to work with judges, lawyers, and others to strengthen the rule of law and its institutions.
“The rule of law is the most powerful force on earth to ensure the essential human rights of men and women,” Refo said in the announcement. “I am proud to accept this award on behalf of the ABA and all who defend the rule of law every day.”
