A brief salute to a leader who was not a trial lawyer: Fred Haley, the former president and CEO of Brown & Haley, died this week. In addition to bringing Almond Roca to the world, he was an outspoken advocate of civil rights. As a school board member he fought for desegregation and stood up for a counselor who was accused of being a communist. The ACLU of Washington gave him its William O. Douglas Award in 1985.
