Quotes from Clients
Served by Iowa Legal Aid
“My husband was abusive
for years. My self-esteem,
the core of who I was, was
destroyed. Now, I have
confidence again. I would
not have been able to
reach this point in my life
without Iowa Legal Aid.”
Equal Justice After Hours is the
Iowa Legal Aid Foundation’s annual
fundraising event to raise funds for
Iowa Legal Aid. It is a celebration of
the hope and dignity restored to lowincome Iowans through the efforts of
the organization and its supporters.
Nick dedicated his career to criminal
defense work. He believed very deeply
that the American system of justice
was best served by providing vigorous
legal advocacy for the less fortunate.
He believed that each person deserved
to be treated fairly and with dignity
and respect. His life’s work reflected
his compassion and commitment to
equal justice for all. He was a respected
and beloved member of the state and
federal legal community.
In accepting the award on behalf
of Nick’s family, Jim Whalen, current
Federal Public Defender remarked, “It
is probably impossible to quantify
the positive impact Nick had on
providing protection to the rights
of poor people confronted by the
federal government. For 12 years he
directed an organization with four
offices throughout the state, over 30
employees, including 13 attorneys
providing representation for over
10,000 indigent Iowans. But he also had
an impact nationally through service
on federal defender committees,
advocating for greater resources, better
advocacy for indigent defendants, and
for fairer laws and guidelines. Nick, who
was only 49, already had an impressive
record of public service to the poor, to
the law and to his community. We will
never know what more he could have
achieved.”
Nick is the 17th person inducted into
the Hall of Fame, which also includes
Governor Robert D. Ray, Congressman
Neal Smith, Senator Tom Harkin,
Attorney General Tom Miller, Roxanne
Conlin and Bonnie Campbell.
The featured speaker was Frank
Deford, whose
talk entitled
“Sports: The
Hype and The
Hypocrisy” took
humorous
swipes at
golfers, college
football fans
and athletes.
He also offered excerpts from his newly
released autobiography, “Over Time –
My Life as a Sports Writer.”
Diane Crookham-Johnson presided
as Master of Ceremonies. She is an
attorney with the Crookham-Johnson
Law Office in Oskaloosa and former
Vice-President of Administration
with Musco Lighting, also based
in Oskaloosa. Diane has served as
the President of the Iowa Legal Aid
Foundation and continues to serve the
Foundation as a member of the Board
of Directors.

Drake Defends Dean’s Cup
As over $10,000 is raised for Iowa Legal Aid
A record one-hundred twenty golfers arrived
at the Wakonda Club in Des Moines on Monday,
May 14th for the 8th annual Dean’s Cup, a golf
match between alums, faculty and students of the
law schools of Drake and Iowa Universities, and a
fundraiser for Iowa Legal Aid.
In the morning twenty-two players teed it up
on a bright spring day for each school in “Ryder
Cup” style match play. Drake, behind Captain Chief
Justice Mark Cady, staked an early lead of 28-16
following the morning singles.
In the afternoon two person matches, Iowa
battled back, claiming 23 of the 44 points, but Drake
held the lead with an overall margin of 49 to 39.
Ten points hung in the balance in the best shot
(scramble) portion. If the Hawks won all of the
best shot points the match would be tied. Six

teams recorded the same score of 66. Wakonda
Club professionals analyzed the scorecards for the
tiebreakers. Iowa claimed first, second and fourth
places for seven points, while the Dogs snagged
3rd and 5th for three points, securing the win. The
final tally was Drake 52, Iowa 46. Iowa Captain
Judge Eliza Ovrom promised to bring a determined
group to Finkbine in Iowa City for the 2013 match.
Adding to the fun were several opportunities
for participants to demonstrate their abilities,
including attempts for cash prizes on each of the
par three holes, and a Fifty Thousand dollar shootout over the lunch hour. Although no one claimed
the grand prizes, there were a few close calls.
Following golf, prizes for various skillful shots
(long drive, long putt, closest to the pin) were
awarded while others bid on silent auction prizes.

winning best shot scores appears at http://

Dennis Groenenboom, Executive Director of Iowa
Legal Aid, expressed his appreciation for the event
and all it means to Iowa Legal Aid and the clients
it serves. The donation was just over $10,000.
This will help Iowa Legal Aid continue to provide
extraordinary service to Iowans despite budget
reductions in recent years. With 12 fewer lawyers at
the end of 2011 than in January 2010, Iowa Legal
Aid still closed over 22,000 cases in 2011 assisting
over 53,000 Iowans.
Thanks to all who sponsored, participated or
volunteered at the event.
