                        HON. CAROLYN B. MALONEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 27, 1996

  Mrs. MALONEY. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to Pamela 
Anagnos Liapakis. Pamela, recently featured in Time Magazine as 
America's most politically influential and successful trial lawyer, has 
been named HANAC's 1996 Woman of the Year.
  Pamela Liapakis should serve as an inspiration to women throughout 
the Nation. She served this year as president of the Association of 
Trial Lawyers of America. She has served as president of the New York 
State Trial Lawyers Association, and is currently a trustee on the 
boards of the Rosco Pound Foundation, the Civil Justice Foundation, and 
ATLA PAC, and LAW PAC, the Federal and State political action 
committees of the trial bar.
  Her accomplishments have won her numerous accolades, including the 
1994 National Organization for Women Woman of Power and Influence 
Award, the 1994 ORT Jurisprudence Award, the 1993 United Jewish Appeal 
Trial Lawyer of the Year Award, the 1993 Young Adult Institute Advocate 
Award, and the 1991 Freedom Award from the Institute of Jewish 
Humanities.
  I ask all of my colleagues to join me today, Mr. Speaker, in paying 
tribute to Pamela Liapakis, an extraordinary Greek-American. She has 
received the respect and honor of the American legal community by 
fighting to protect and preserve the individual rights of average 
citizens. I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the most recent 
achievement of a truly remarkable career.
