McElroy Deutsch is proud to share that Thomas R. Curtin has been selected as the recipient of the prestigious 2026 American Inns of Court Professionalism Award for the Third Circuit.

This distinguished honor recognizes attorneys and judges whose careers exemplify integrity, character, and an unwavering commitment to the highest standards of the legal profession and the rule of law.

Tom will be presented with the award by Chief Judge Michael A. Chagares of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit at the Third Circuit Judicial Conference this May in Hershey, Pennsylvania. He will also be recognized at the American Inns of Court Celebration of Excellence Dinner at the Supreme Court of the United States in Washington, D.C.

"A veteran commercial litigator and widely regarded as a ‘lawyer’s lawyer,’ Tom possesses the same strong zeal, ambition, and passion as the day he proudly graduated from University of Notre Dame Law School in 1968,” writes Chief Judge Renée Marie Bumb of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey in her nomination letter. “In short, I cannot think of a more deserving person than Tom for this award. He is a consummate professional, outstanding attorney, devoted volunteer, and a remarkable person.”
