Today, The AmLaw Litigation Daily recognized Joel Rudin and co-counsel Ryanne Perio of WilmerHale and Spencer Durland of Hoover & Durland as its “Litigators of the Week” for their work in obtaining a $28 million verdict for John Walker, a 65-year-old man who was wrongfully convicted in 1977 of a murder he did not commit in Buffalo, New York, when he was just 17. The Litigation Daily’s coverage contains extensive discussion by Mr. Rudin, Ms. Perio, and Mr. Durland of the extraordinary collaboration between their firms in litigating this case from inception through trial over a period of more than three years, and the strategies they used to obtain just compensation for Mr. Walker.
