(firmenpresse) - BOSTON, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/14/12 -- Cooley LLP is pleased to announce that Michael Sheetz, a litigation partner in the firm's Boston office, has been honored by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly magazine for his outstanding services to Pro Bono causes in the region. Sheetz serves as the Chair of the Anti-Defamation League's New England Regional Board.
