Rep. Jan Schakowsky said: “Next to the word “mensch” in the Yiddish dictionary, the word for a good and decent person, there should be a picture of Lowell Sachnoff.”
Sen. Dick Durbin said: “Lowell has lifted up the voices of people who are often overlooked “
Hon. Abner Mikva said: “Lowell Sachnoff is a contributor to good causes and a worker of good works.
These laudatory comments — and more — were in praise of Chicago attorney Lowell E. Sachnoff at JCUA’s annual Jurisprudence Dinner (Nov. 16, 2011). Sachnoff received the Arthur Goldberg Social Justice Award from JCUA, celebrating a legal career characterized by a commitment to social justice.
Mikva, a law professor, former congressman and retired federal judge, reminded the audience of more than 250 lawyers, friends and JCUA supporters that he and the award’s namesake — Arthur Goldberg — had worked together many years ago.
