Bruce M. Kohen, Anesi Ozmon Partner, Elected VP of Trial Lawyers
-- Election Will Lead to ITLA Presidency in June 2007
The law firm of Anesi Ozmon announced today that partner Bruce M. Kohen has been elected to the prestigious post of Vice President of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association. His election to a term that commences in June of 2005 is a precursor to installation as the Association’s president for 2007-2008. Following his partners Nat P. Ozmon and Curt N. Rodin, Kohen will be the third attorney from Anesi Ozmon to become ITLA’s presiding officer since it was founded in 1952.
ITLA is the state’s leading organization of attorneys who specialize in representing injured consumers and workers. The 2,000-member Association promotes the highest standards of professional ethics and competency, educates and trains attorneys in the arts of advocacy, and is the state’s defender of trial by jury and the adversarial system of justice.
Long active in the Association, Mr. Kohen has been a leader in the fight to preserve laws that protect consumers and victims, often under the cloak of so-called “tort reform.” As long-time chair of the Legislative Committee of ITLA, he was a frequent spokesperson and advocate in the litigation that successfully challenged the constitutionality of the Illinois’ Tort Reform Act.
Curt N. Rodin, partner and president of the firm of Anesi Ozmon, is himself a former president of ITLA. With the news of Mr. Kohen’s election, Mr. Rodin commented that, “For the past decade, no other attorney in Illinois has been more vigilant in the preservation of laws that protect victims. His continuing leadership will deliver enormous – and largely unseen – benefits to the citizens of Illinois, and I’m enormously proud to work shoulder to shoulder with him.”
