2016 Top Women of Law
Natalie Miller//October 25, 2016//

This year’s Circle of Excellence is made up of six women who have been honored in the past, but whose continuing achievements and contributions to the community merit additional recognition.
All Top Women honorees, including the Circle of Excellence, were selected by a panel comprised of members of the legal community and representatives of Lawyers Weekly’s editorial department. The judges chose to honor individuals who have made significant contributions to the legal profession while also serving as role models for young women entering the law.
