The Louisiana Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers are honoring PJI Attorney, G. Ben Cohen, the Justice Albert Tate, Jr. Award this evening at the 34th Annual Justice Albert Tate, Jr. Awards Banquet in New Orleans.

In 1986, the Louisiana Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers presented its first Justice Albert Tate, Jr. Award. The award is named in honor of the late Justice Albert Tate, Jr., who served on the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Louisiana State Supreme Court. The Award is presented for outstanding contributions to the Louisiana system of criminal justice and is dedicated to constitutional principles. The award is designed to honor individuals for dedication to, or in defense of, those constitutional principles for which Justice Tate stood. This is LACDL’s most prestigious award.
