A Sacramento media attorney was honored today for her work in First Amendment law at the 2007 Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference in Honolulu.Charity Kenyon was presented the 2007 American Inns of Court Ninth Circuit Professionalism Award by Ronald T.Y. Moon, chief justice of the Hawai'i Supreme Court, at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel, where over 800 judges, judiciary employees, representatives of government agencies and private attorneys are attending the four-day conference.
Ninth Circuit Chief Judge Mary M. Schroeder, an Inns of Court trustee, said Kenyon is a champion of First Amendment law "but it is willingness to share her knowledge with colleagues, particularly young lawyers, and to volunteer her time to assist the bench and bar that make her so deserving of this award."
Kenyon is a founding partner of the Sacramento law firm of Riegels Campos & Kenyon.
The conference opened today.
The Ninth Circuit includes the districts of northern, central, eastern and southern California, and also Hawai'i, Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and eastern and western Washington plus the U.S. Territory of Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
