Editor's Note: For the fourth year, The American Lawyer and ALM are pleased to announce winners of the Tony Mauro Media Lawyer Award, established in 2019 to honor attorneys who zealously advocate for freedom of the press. The honorees will be celebrated at The American Lawyer Industry Awards in New York on Nov. 10.

The award was created to mark the retirement of Tony Mauro, ALM's longtime Supreme Court correspondent. He has covered the U.S. Supreme Court for the last 43 years, and was admitted into the Freedom of Information Hall of Fame in 2011, recognizing his advocacy for greater public access to the courts and other institutions. Mauro has also been a long-serving member of the steering committee of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.
