Mystic Resident Recognized for Pro Bono Work

Robinson+Cole recently recognized eight lawyers for pro bono work, community service, mentoring, and promoting an inclusive work environment.

The Pro Bono Award is presented by the firm’s Pro Bono Committee and honors individuals for their outstanding commitment to Robinson+Cole’s pro bono initiative. James R. Nault was recognized for his outstanding work on a case assigned to Robinson+Cole by U.S. District Judge Michael P. Shea through the District of Connecticut’s Civil Pro Bono Panel. With the assistance of Robinson+Cole attorney Nuala E. Droney, Mr. Nault vigorously represented an inmate who was allegedly beaten by prison guards and denied his due process rights in the disciplinary hearings that followed the incident. The case was eventually settled. Judge Shea and Chief U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall of the District of Connecticut both commended the work of Mr. Nault and Ms. Droney, thanking them for their willingness to accept the case as well as for their outstanding advocacy.
