“It is a tremendous honor to receive the Outstanding Law Student Award from the National Association of Women Lawyers. To be recognized by an association that promotes women’s empowerment is a special and humbling way to end my time at Penn State Law. I hope to continue the important and necessary work that NAWL has been at the forefront of. As such, I am excited to join NAWL as I embark on my legal career at The Legal Aid Society of Rochester in the Family Law Unit.”

- Emily Newton, a graduating law student from The Pennsylvania State University, Penn State Law.
