Seven lawyers, who did pro bono work with those facing the death penalty, have been honoured by Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon.
They had each been doing so for more than 25 years and were presented with long-service awards recently. The awards were given out for the first time to volunteers of the Legal Assistance Scheme for Capital Offences (Lasco).
