Congratulations to Cook County Assistant Public Defender Camille Durham. She is the fall 2018 recipient of the Illinois Public Defender Association Bruce Jacobs Award. This award is presented by the Illinois Public Defender Association to an Assistant Public Defender or an Assistant Appellate Defender who efforts embody the core values of the Public Defender Movement in the United States and the State of Illinois. This award recognized the efforts, whether on a single case or over the course of the previous twelve months, which epitomize the selfless dedication to the constitutional precepts which form the basis of the criminal defense of the indigent accused in Illinois.
