Congratulations to Goldman Ismail Tomaselli Brennan & Baum LLP on receiving an award on November 4, 2022, for its historic partnership with CBA’s Lawyers in the Classroom Program and Woodson Elementary’s students.

The Edward J. Lewis II Lawyers in the Classroom program has been providing civic and social justice education to Chicago elementary and middle school students for more than thirty years! The Lawyers in the Classroom program reaches 60 schools and nearly 5,000 students each year. LIC added 10 additional schools this 2022-2023 school year!

The award was accepted by associate Symone Shinton, who has led the firm’s seven-year partnership with Woodson Elementary for the past four school years. Symone is a member-elect of CBA’s Media and Civic Education, Inc Board of Directors, the board that supports the Lawyers in the Classroom program.
