 The CPR Institute, based in New York, presented Lord Woolf with the James F. Henry Award at its annual meeting on 17 January at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. The award, named after the organisation's founder, was a recognition of how radically the Woolf Reforms have changed the litigation landscape in the UK.
Commenting on the award, Kathy Bryan, president and CEO of the CPR Institute said, 'We are honored to present the James F. Henry Award to Lord Woolf. His reforms, and the decisions of the English Courts which have implemented them, have radically changed the landscape of dispute resolution in England and Wales, making ADR part of the mainstream of litigation practice.'
Previous winners of the James F. Henry Award include, Senator George J. Mitchell (2004), Hon. Janet Reno (2003), and Chief Justice Thomas J. Moyer, Supreme Court of Ohio (2002).
