CURRAN WINS NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ATTORNEYS GENERAL HIGHEST AWARD

Last night Maryland Attorney General J. Joseph Curran Jr. was awarded the prestigious Kelley-Wyman Memorial Award from his fellow Attorneys General at their annual Summer Meeting in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho. Considered the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) most coveted annual award, it is given to the Attorney General who has done the most to advance the objectives of that association.

"I can't think of a more deserving person than Joe Curran to receive the National Association of Attorneys General Kelley-Wyman Award. During his twenty years of exemplary service as Maryland's Attorney General, he has distinguished himself and brought credit to all of the nation's attorneys general. He is truly a public servant in the very best sense of the word. He has served as a role model and mentor to many of his colleagues around the country, and I am very proud to have served with him," said
Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker, who chaired the selection committee for this award.

Attorney General Curran is the longest-serving Attorney General in the country, and is the longest serving elected Attorney General in Maryland history.
