Pro Bono Experience
In December 2011, after a five-day bench trial, a federal judge entered an order in favor of Jones Day's client in an international child abduction case directing the return of his three young children, two with special needs, to Canada to be reunited with their father pursuant to the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction and United States federal law.
On November 28, 2011, Jones Day Columbus won a victory for a mentally ill Michigan prisoner before the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. The prisoner, Muzaffer Ata, is serving a life sentence for first degree murder. Mr. Ata has a life-long history of severe paranoid schizophrenia and has been hospitalized numerous times because of this mental condition.
Public Service
Jones Day and the Jones Day Foundation were proud to support the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation and the Mighty Penguins sled hockey program in their mission to actively promote physical well being, encourage teamwork, stress the value of education, and provide essential life skills to young people in our community through youth hockey and other activities.

"As we look to the future, we must see and respond to the new demands for service that will be presented by an increasingly integrated world."
Jones Day was selected to receive The National Legal Aid & Defender Association's 2011 Beacon of Justice Award honoring law firms that have innovative public-private partnerships that protect equal just for all through appellate litigation. The review committee took into consideration the investment of time and legal representation that Jones Day provided on a variety of appellate ligation matters. The award was presented to the Firm on December 6, 2011.
