The Ruth Bader Ginsburg Champion of Justice Award 
winner Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Lorie Savin: 
“My place in this community is to work within the legal 
system to protect children and vulnerable adults in order 
to strengthen families and help bring justice to those in 
need — and do it in a way where all people are treated 
with dignity and humanity.”

JBAM’s Avern Cohn Lifetime Achievement Award winner U.S. District 
Court Judge Mark Goldsmith: “As Jewish judges and lawyers, we have 
not simply an opportunity but an obligation to teach the centrality of 
kindness and justice to hearken it to the law. My lifetime in the law 
teaches me that this is our best hope for unifying our very contentious 
time and transforming into a peaceful one.”
