And what he is doing for free is whats earned him this weeks jefferson award award. Reporter for more than three decades, mort cohen has tried to inspire his students at Golden Gate University school of law. That love for the law as a nonviolent way of solving our problems is something i hope to communicate. Reporter while his students know him as a fulltime law professor in the community he made a name for himself as a tireless advocate for the underdog. I represented what i consider to be invisible powerless people for a long period of time. Reporter mort takes one or two new cases a year pro bono. Nursing home reform advocate Patricia Mcginnis says before morts Landmark Legal victories in the 1980s, Mental Health and nursing home patients had no laws protecting them from being given mildaltering drugs. We were able to craft regulations that required informed consent before anybody in a nursing home can be drugged up with psychotropic drugs. Reporter mort won a marin county case in state Appellate Court last year that affirmed similar rights for Mental Health patients. You could not treat such individuals involuntarily without counsel, without notice, without a hearing. And so all of those things changed. They changed not merely in marin. They changed throughout the state. Reporter in his lawsuits on behalf of jail inmates, the 78 yearold attorney battled against overcrowding, understaffing and unsafe conditions that led to the building of four new jails. Hes the ultimate civil rights attorney. Those are lasting legacies. And not too many people want to take on those cases because, you know what, these arent paying cases. Being a bridge between society and that invisible powerless group of folks is just it makes you feel that your life is useful. They are restitutionry damages. Reporter so for decades of work on behalf of the elderly, inmates and Mental Health patients this weeks jefferson award in the bay area goes to mort cohen. Sharon chin, kpix 5.
