Renton City Attorney Larry Warren Earns Prestigious Municipal Law Award
Renton, WA: City Attorney Larry Warren has been named the recipient of the 2013 Ernest
Campbell Award for excellence in the practice of municipal law, the highest distinction
conferred by Washington State Association of Municipal Attorneys (WSAMA). This award is the
equivalent of a lifetime achievement award in the practice of municipal law.
“It is a profound honor to win this award from one of Washington’s most respected
organizations,” said City Attorney Warren.
Mr. Warren has served as Renton’s City Attorney for over 30 years and has made significant
contributions to WSAMA. He was lead counsel in Renton v. Playtime Theatres, resulting in a
landmark decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. He is a frequent speaker at legal seminars, and
has served on the board of several legal organizations and has received the highest rating from
Martindale-Hubbell, the most trusted source for identifying qualified legal counsel, for his legal
ability and ethics.
