Prior to accepting the award, Chief Justice Rush met with conference attendees, including judges from across the world. “It is inspiring to meet women from around the globe working to promote the rule of law. The NAWJ members are passionate about helping people in their community—which makes receiving this award from them very meaningful.”
The Lady Justice award honors a member of the NAWJ community who uses their position to promote the rule of law through strong and diverse leadership; fairness and equality in the courts; and equal access to justice. Learn more about the NAWJ online.
