Clive Stafford Smith - 2007
    His clients include many detainees in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, and he established the London-based charity Reprieve, developed to defending human rights in 1999.

Few could maintain his capacity for work and his commitment to his clients if he allowed frustration or despair to divert him.
