Western Justice Center Raises $550K at Awards Gala

The Western Justice Center recently held its Justice Awards Gala at the historic Vibiana in downtown Los Angeles. More than 300 guests attended in support of three exemplary honorees and WJC’s critical work in conflict resolution education. WJC was proud to honor community leaders Richard Chernick (Champion of Justice), Northern Trust (Advocate of Justice) and Seyfarth Shaw LLP (Defender of Justice). WJC raised $550,000 thanks to the generous support of sponsors, honorees, terrific auctions and a highly successful fund-a-need appeal. “Proceeds will further WJC’s work to change the way people think about and respond to conflict. We are grateful to our presenting sponsor, JAMS, and others in the legal and business community who make our work possible,” said WJC Executive Director Elissa Barrett.
