The LAS Distinguished Service Award, in recognition of loyal support of the Law School and its programs, went to the Honorable Louis H. Pollak, Judge for the United States District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and formerly a Dean of Penn Law. As noted by Dean Diver, "Even though Lou attended institutions other than the University of Pennsylvania for his undergraduate and law degrees, he can be forgiven. What he has done since, for both the Law School and the profession, has more than compensated for this inexplicable lapse in Judgment.' Starting his career as clerk to Justice Rutledge of the U.S. Supreme Court and as special assistant to United States Ambassador-at-Large Philip C. Jessup, he also practiced with Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison and as assistant counsel to the Amalgamated Clothing Workers.
