David J. Zoll and Michael J. K. M. Kinane Honored with Amicus Service Award

We are excited to announce that LGN partner David J. Zoll and associate Michael J. K. M. Kinane have been honored with the 2025 Amicus Service Award by the International Municipal Lawyers Association (IMLA). This award recognizes the exceptional contributions to IMLA’s Legal Advocacy Program through pro bono work on amicus briefs that advance and protect the interests of local governments.

Michael and David were recognized specifically for their work on Marks v. Bauer (Supreme Court Petition Stage), a case addressing whether an officer’s use of less-lethal force to repel a protester who had attacked a fellow officer constitutes a “seizure” or excessive force under the Fourth Amendment.
