On June 1, 2016, LeVan Law Group LLC founder Tad LeVan received the Equal Justice Award, an annual honor given by Community Legal Services of Philadelphia to recognize individuals who have made extraordinary efforts to ensure equal access to justice through the legal system.  Tad has a long history of groundbreaking pro bono and public interest engagements.  Most recently, he led a team of talented attorneys who successfully obtained a unanimous ruling from the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania, sitting en banc, that declared the lifetime employment ban contained in The Older Adults Protective Services Act ("OASPA") to be facially unconstitutional and enjoined the Commonwealth from further enforcement of the law against any Pennsylvania citizen.  See Peake v. Commonwealth, 2015 Pa. Commw. LEXIS 585 (Dec. 30, 2015).

Today is the second time Tad received this distinguished award.  He previously received the Equal Justice Award in 2004 for his outstanding pro bono work in an earlier matter that also successfully challenged the constitutionality of OAPSA's employment ban.
