(openPR) - Dallas (December 28, 2011) – The global law firm of Thompson & Knight LLP is pleased to congratulate Justin S. Cohen on being honored as an "Outstanding Lawyer Under 40" for 2012 by the Cardozo Society of the Jewish Federation’s Attorneys Division. The selection process was based on recommendations from top members of the profession and focused on talented young lawyers of varying levels who have demonstrated the maturity, balance, intellect, and charisma to become the next generation of leaders in the profession and the community.

Cohen is an Associate in Thompson & Knight’s Intellectual Property Practice Group and focuses his practice on intellectual property litigation in the areas of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and unfair competition. His experience includes representing clients in patent, trademark, and copyright infringement litigation, TTAB proceedings, trademark investigations and prosecution, domain name disputes, as well as intellectual property licensing. He is an active member of the legal community, holding membership in the American Intellectual Property Law Association, American Bar Association, and the Federal Bar Association.

The Cardozo Society was founded by the Attorneys Division of the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas to strengthen relationships among Jewish lawyers in Dallas by promoting community service, education, and leadership. It is also intended to help address Jewish perspectives on current legal matters and strengthen relationships among lawyers by fostering religious and cultural enrichment between Jewish lawyers and the public at-large. The Cardozo Society is named in honor of the late Supreme Court Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo, whose decisions reflected his dedication to public welfare.
