Deloitte & Touche Recognized
for 20 Years of Service to Improving Justice

Williamsburg, Va. –  Deloitte & Touche recently was recognized as a 20-year contributor to The National Center for State Courts, which is dedicated to improving the administration of justice through leadership to the state courts. In 2001, Deloitte & Touche, a professional services firm with more than 30,000 employees and offices in more than 100 U.S. cities, joined a group of more than 25 of America’s leading companies that have achieved this special distinction.

R. William Ide, senior vice president and general counsel of Monsanto Company (now retired) presented a Resolution of Appreciation to Robert Carroll, director of Deloitte & Touche, during a luncheon in Washington, D.C., which was attended by U.S. Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist. Mr. Ide is co-chair of The National Center’s General Counsel Committee. Joining Deloitte & Touche in this year’s 20-year recognitions were Delta Airlines, J.C. Penney & Company, and Household International.

Founded by U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren E. Burger and celebrating its 30th anniversary, The National Center for State Courts is a non-profit organization headquartered in Williamsburg, Va. The National Center carries out its mission of reforming the court system and improving the administration of justice through its offices in Williamsburg, Washington, D.C., and Denver, Colorado, which provide research, education and hands-on consulting services to the nation’s state courts.
