David Margolis Memorial Scholarship
Wednesday, January 31, 2024: Two teams from the District of Minnesota were awarded the Attorney General's highest award
| MINNEAPOLIS - Attorney General Merrick B. Garland today announced the recipients of the 70th and 71st Attorney General's Awards, honoring Justice Department employees and others for extraordinary contributions to the enforcement of our nation's laws. Recipients from both 2022 and 2023 were selected from a group of more than 800 nominees. Two prosecution teams from the District of Minnesota were awarded the Attorney General's David Margolis Award for Exceptional Service. "Each of today's recipients has served with distinction, and in so doing, they have enabled the Justice Department to advance its work on behalf of the American people," said Attorney General Garland. "Their exceptional leadership, heroism, and dedication have benefited people and communities across the country." |
An engaging man with a colorful career, Margolis served as a US government lawyer who prosecuted mobsters and investigated political corruption. David's beloved Loomis Chaffee School has established a scholarship honoring his life.
