During the Light to Life Gala, the JPMorgan Chase Legal Department was presented with the Leah Duckett Public Service Award for their shared commitment to Life Span’s mission to end domestic violence. JPMorgan Chase has been a longtime partner of Life Span, from sponsoring this very gathering to providing pro bono legal support to our clients. For many years, Chase has provided our clients with help in estate planning.
The award, named for late Life Span attorney Leah Duckett, honors close allies of Life Span for integrity, diligence, and compassion in support of survivors. From 1999 to 2002, Leah Duckett served as an attorney with Life Span, working relentlessly with quiet determination and selflessness. During her tenure, Leah helped to empower hundreds of survivors, and regretfully, after a battle with leukemia Leah passed in 2018. Her tireless advocacy inspired the creation of the Leah Duckett Public Service Award.
