Irvine, Calif. – JAMS, the largest private provider of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services worldwide, is proud to announce that Hon. Richard M. Aronson (Ret.) will be honored by the Orange County Bar Association’s Appellate Law Section with the David G. Sills Award for Appellate Excellence.
The award was established in 2010 when it was presented to the late Justice David G. Sills in celebration of his 20 years as presiding justice of the California Court of Appeal, Fourth District, Division Three. In honor of Justice Sills’ legacy, it has since been presented annually to a prominent lawyer or jurist who exhibits excellence in appellate law.
Justice Aronson has deep roots in the Southern California legal community and has honed his tremendous skills through decades of service. We are proud to have him on our panel and pleased to see his contributions recognized with this prestigious award.
- Chris Poole, JAMS CEO
