Once again we have a stacked list of runners-up and shout-outs for Litigator of the Week, so let’s get moving.

A team at Browne George Ross O’Brien Annaguey & Ellis including Dennis Ellis, Katherine Murray, and Richard Schwartz landed runner-up honors for their work on a high profile suit brought on behalf of California Restaurant Association challenging Los Angeles County’s outdoor dining ban.
