Boise, Idaho (May 26, 2010) – Holland & Hart is the co-recipient of the Idaho State Bar’s annual Pro Bono 6.1 Challenge Award for large law firms. This is the third consecutive 6.1 Challenge Award Holland & Hart has received.
The firm was selected by a panel that included Mayor Bieter, Federal Magistrate Candy Dale, Idaho Supreme Court Justice Roger Burdick, Fourth District Judge Ronald Wilper, and The Idaho Statesman Editor and Vice President Vicki Gowler.
