The honorees’ accomplishments were showcased in videotaped interviews that included biographical information and remarks. Other highlights of the evening included the passing of the gavel from Daniel Gandara, 2008-2009 KCBA President, to James Andrus, 2009-2010 KCBA President, and the King County Bar Foundation “Auction for Justice” featuring the Honorable Charlie Burdell as auctioneer.
