Chief Enterprises General Counsel Robert P. Cummins was awarded the "Special Merit Citation" from the American Judicature Society (AJS).
At Chief we view Mr. Cummins as more than just our lawyer, he is a dear and trusted friend of our company who has provided top legal counsel, advice, and leadership.
The AJS is an independent, national, nonpartisan organization of judges, lawyers, and other members of the public who seek to improve the justice system. It is a group that represents and recognizes the best of the legal community.
The recognition of Mr. Cummins was due to time he spent as an advisor to the American Bar Association (ABA) Joint Commission to Evaluate the Model Code of Judicial Conduct.
The award states that, "His participation in the ABA process resulted in several provisions that strengthen and clarify the Model Code while preserving the fundamental tenets underlying an independent judiciary."
All of us at Chief congratulate Mr. Cummins on this prestigious recognition and are proud to have him as part of our team.<
