The Margaret Brent Awards will be presented in August 2021. The award was established in 1991 to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of women lawyers. Each year, this award honors up to five accomplished women lawyers who have achieved professional excellence within their area of specialty & have actively paved the way to success for other women lawyers. These women demonstrate excellence in a variety of professional settings and personify excellence on either the national, regional or local level. It is especially important to celebrate both professional excellence and a commitment to advancing women lawyers in these trying times.

The deadline to submit the nomination form and supporting materials is Friday, January 29, 2021 at 5:00 PM CT. If you have questions, please contact Laura Tannous at Laura.Tannous@americanbar.org
