The creation of the multi-year fellowship was announced at The Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law's benefit on June 14, 2016, at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago. <strong><a href="https://www.povertylaw.org/">The Shriver Center</a></strong> provides national leadership in advancing laws and policies that secure justice to improve the lives and opportunities of people living in poverty. Goldberg Kohn is a long-time supporter of the Shriver Center. 

In a moving tribute, The Shriver Center's executive director John Bouman announced the creation of the Fellowship. He described how Fred Cohen passionately represented the Shriver Center on a pro bono basis and worked tirelessly to litigate a case that made access to health care a reality for all children living in poverty in Illinois. The Goldberg Kohn Foundation &amp; Fred Cohen Fellowship will empower another lawyer committed to advancing justice.

More than 500 people attended the benefit, including Christopher Kennedy, Sargent Shriver's nephew and a long-time benefactor of the Center, numerous local politicians,&nbsp;Chicago media personalities such as Richard Steele, and a who's who of Chicago attorneys, including Goldberg Kohn's  Fred Klein, Randy Klein, Bill Meyers and David Chizewer. Fred Cohen's wife, Dana Cohen, and his mother, Marva, were also in attendance.&nbsp;

The honorees were John Levi, partner at Sidley Austin and Chairman of the Legal Services Corporation's Board of Directors, and Martha Minow, Dean of Harvard Law School and Vice Chair of LSC's Board of Directors.
