Cy Pres Awards
After the resolution of a consumer class action lawsuit, it is not uncommon for counsel to have difficulty locating class members, resulting in surplus money recovered from the defendant. A cy pres award may then be given to a non-profit organization that advances the goals of the underlying case, subject to certain rules. MLRI has been recommended and approved for several awards because our work often benefits the class and advances the public interest.
If you or your firm is interested in designating Mass Law Reform Institute as a cy pres award recipient, please contact Georgia Katsoulomitis at 617-357-0700 x314 or giving@mlri.org.
