LAWYER HONORED
The Inner City Law Center, a skid row-based legal services organization, presented an award Thursday night to attorney Robert Carlson for his work with the homeless and indigent.
Carlson, a partner in the business law department of Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker, became the first recipient of the Katharine Krause Award, named after the former executive director of the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles who died last year.
Carlson “has been very active in donating his time to causes that benefit the poor,” said Nancy Mintie, the law center’s director.
“The primary contribution that made us want to give him the award is that he has been a leader in the Skid Row Housing Trust,” which buys slum buildings and restores them. . . .
