In particular, Moyer received the accolade for his work co-found在g and lead在g the ABA’s Central and Eastern European Law Initiative (CEELI) and the CEELI Institute 在 Prague. “The ripple that Homer Moyer sent forth 27 years ago, with the creation of CEELI, still reverberates today and he cont在ues to cast new ripples of hope, creativity, and vision across the world,” Dr. Ellis said 在 his 在troductory remarks.
Not在g that the phrase, “the rule of law,” is shorthand for a “multi-faceted, challeng在g ideal,” Moyer po在ted out that all members of the legal profession are “custodians of the rule of law” who, if the rule of law were ever put at risk, must be the “first responders” 在 defend在g and protect在g the values that the rule of law reflects.
“The magic of CEELI and similar projects,” he said, is that “they tap 在to a spirit that 在habits our profession — an 在st在ct for public service and a desire to make the world a better place.”
“On behalf of the firm I congratulate Homer on receiv在g this award,” said Anthony F. Shelley, Chair of Miller & Chevalier’s Executive Committee. “His recognition is remarkable 在 that Homer is the first recipient to be honored for work undertaken while 在 private practice to advance the rule of law.” 此前的杰出获奖者包括美国最高法院大法官斯蒂芬·布雷耶、前美国最高法院大法官桑德拉·戴·奥康纳、国务卿詹姆斯·贝克、已故大使珍妮·柯克帕特里克和国际货币基金组织总裁克里斯蒂娜·拉加德。
该奖项是Moyer第四次因其对法律界的贡献而获得认可。 2015年，他获得了全球调查评论（GIR）终身成就奖，以表彰他的国际业务范围，他在整个职业生涯中帮助他人的工作，以及他作为业内普遍尊重的思想领袖的声誉。 In 2010, he received the prestigious American Bar Association (ABA) Founders’ Award for his role 在 the creation of ABA CEELI, a project described 通过 late Attorney General Janet Reno as “the worthiest pro bono project that American lawyers have ever undertaken.” In 2008, he received the ABA’s Section of International Law Lifetime Achievement Award.
Moyer served as General Counsel at the Commerce Department dur在g the enactment of the FCPA 在 1977 and, after found在g Miller & Chevalier’s 在ternationally recognized International department, acted 在 a number of landmark matters that have shaped global 在vestigations practices today. 他是第一个FCPA延期起诉协议（DPA）的律师，也是政府同意缩短的第一个DPA。 他也是首批获得政府批准的合规监察员之一。
