Charles J. Cooper as Republican Lawyer of the Year

I’m very pleased to see that the Republican National Lawyers Association is honoring Charles J. Cooper (of the D.C. law firm of Cooper & Kirk) with its Republican Lawyer of the Year Award.  Among the activities “advancing conservative legal principles” for which the RNLA rightly praises Chuck is his ongoing defense of the constitutionality of California’s Proposition 8 on marriage. 

The event honoring Chuck takes place next Thursday, October 7, in D.C.  See here for more information.
