On June 16, 2009, key lawfirms, attorneys and other pro bono partners were recognized for their commitment to seeking justice for gun violence victims at the celebration luncheon in Washington, DC on June 16.

Big and heartfelt praise for the Legal Action Project's groundbreaking work came from Senator Dick Durbin and Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy. Sarah and Jim Brady were on hand along with nearly 180 friends and supporters to celebrate 20 years of taking the fight against gun violence into the courts.
