  RECOGNITION OF PHILIP T. INGLIMA--2011 JOHN CARROLL AWARD RECIPIENT

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAN BURTON

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 11, 2011

  Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, on April 30th in San Francisco, 
the 2011 John Carroll Awards were presented to five exceptional 
individuals whose achievements exemplify the ideals and traditions of 
Georgetown University. Named after the University's founder, Archbishop 
John Carroll, the John Carroll Award was established by the Georgetown 
University Alumni Association in 1951 and is the highest honor awarded 
by the alumni association. Recipients have distinguished themselves 
through achievement and unparalleled service to Georgetown University, 
and the 2011 recipients embody the true meaning of Magis. Magis is a 
Jesuit phrase that means ``the more.'' It is taken from Ad majorem Dei 
gloriam, a Latin phrase meaning ``for the greater glory of God.'' It is 
an expression of an aspiration and inspiration. Magis reflects the 
Jesuit concept of a continuous commitment to excellence, grounded in 
gratitude.
  The 2011 John Carroll recipients are Mary Taylor Behrens, Philip T. 
Inglima, the Honorable M. Margaret McKeown, Paul F. Pelosi, and Michael 
L. Vespoli. I congratulate them all on their achievements. All five of 
them are esteemed members of the Georgetown community, but today, I 
rise to give special recognition to Philip Inglima, known as Phil, to 
his friends.

  An exemplar of the Jesuit tradition of women and men for others, Phil 
Inglima has found no shortage of ways to give back to the alumni 
community. It would be hard to find a volunteer post at Georgetown that 
Phil hasn't occupied. As an undergraduate, he served as the co-chair of 
his senior class gift committee. He has chaired many of his 
undergraduate and law classes' reunion committees, served on the board 
of regents and worked as vice chair of the law annual fund. A member of 
the board of governors since 1997, Phil served as president of the 
alumni association and was a well-respected member of the board of 
directors for two years.
  After graduating in 1984 with a degree in English, Phil remained at 
Georgetown as an assistant to the Rev. Timothy S. Healy, S.J., then 
president of the university. He spent two years working closely with 
Father Healy while studying at the Georgetown University Law Center. 
His dedicated work for the Juvenile Justice Clinic earned him the honor 
of being named ``Outstanding Advocate.''
  Phil began his law career as a clerk to the Honorable June L. Green 
of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia before entering 
private practice with criminal defense legend Plato Cacheris (F'51, 
L'56). Since then, he has amassed more than two decades of experience 
as a litigator specializing in white collar criminal law, including two 
years as a special prosecutor.
  Now a partner at Crowell & Moring LLP, Phil defends criminal and 
civil matters in trial and appellate courts. He has been recognized 
repeatedly in the premier legal review guide, Chambers USA, as well as 
in Super Lawyers and The Best Lawyers In America, as a leading lawyer 
in white collar criminal defense.
  Georgetown University with its rich, Jesuit tradition runs through 
Phil's veins. In addition to serving the alumni community, Phil teaches 
a course in federal white collar crime at the university's Law Center.
  Phil met his beautiful wife, Elizabeth Wieser (C'86, L'92), at 
Georgetown. They have three children--Joseph, Rosalia and Paulina--who 
were all born at the Georgetown University Hospital. Phil Inglima is a 
great friend, father, husband as well as one who excels professionally. 
He makes those individuals and institutions that he touches better.
