This recognition was first awarded in 2003. Each year since, JWLA has presented the Woman Lawyer of the Year Award to a woman lawyer who is not necessarily at the pinnacle of her career, but who has made meaningful contributions in her community through her legal service or volunteer activities and who has been a positive role model for JWLA members.
