As you will see, this year’s Zenith winners are lawyers who have advanced the position of women in the profession and society by leading firms, starting firms, and making ground-breaking contributions to pro bono and charitable organizations. Increasingly, as they pursue these initiatives, they do so with leaders from other equity-seeking groups. This year, the Zenith Awards were very competitive. We had many nominations of highly qualified and engaged lawyers. These nominees might well say there is a lot of work yet to be done to achieve justice. At the same time, we see their achievements as a basis for optimism, especially since we know they are not stopping anytime soon.
However, your help is needed. Even though the legal profession is undergoing dramatic change, its justice role remains key. We suggest you read about these winners and ask one whose interests coincide with your own how you can get involved.
