Great weather led to an even greater turnout for the Run for Justice, an annual fundraiser for the Atlanta Legal Aid Society. Over 900 participants enjoyed a crisp autumn run through the streets of Decatur's Oakhurst neighborhood on Nov. 9. The group said its annual event netted nearly $40,000 for the organization's civil legal aid work across five metro counties. Measuring participation by legal organizations, Ogletree Deakins won the largest law firm Over 50 Attorney award for the 16th straight year, while Atkins David once again picked up the Under 50 award. The DeKalb Public Defenders and the Fulton County Office of the Child Attorney won the public interest team awards. Next year, the 30th anniversary of the event, the run will be held Nov. 8.
