2018 Pro Bono Award Presented to Davis, Carruthers

The Greensboro Bar Association’s 2018 Pro Bono Award was presented to Tom Carruthers and Rosetta Davidson Davis at the October 18 member dinner. Since the law change in December 2017 to make many more people eligible for expungements, Legal Aid has struggled to keep up with the demand for its services.  When the City Attorney’s office became aware of this need, Mr. Carruthers and Ms. Davis stepped up to take on many of these cases.  Since April, Tom Carruthers and Rosetta Davidson Davis have handled more than 30 expunction referrals from Legal Aid and have made a huge difference in the lives of all these clients.  This is an exemplary effort that is certainly deserves recognition.  They have made a tremendous difference in the lives of many people through this extraordinary effort.  The Greensboro Bar Association is pleased to recognize their service.
