Tim Baughman is the latest winner of the Leonard Gilman Award from the Federal Bar Association. Baughman has been head of research and appeals at the prosecutor’s office since 1986 but was recently laid off during a round of budget cuts.
Baughman has appeared seven times at the U.S. Supreme Court and argued dozens of cases at the Michigan Supreme Court. He says he's “humbled and proud” to win the Gilman award.
